Normally you can just use 

selenium.type("field-id", "string to type")

but in the particular case of a TAB, it seems it's more difficult

Yes this is possible

See code below

<tr>
    <td>keyPress</td>
    <td>//div/b[text()='Send']</td>
    <td>13</td>
</tr>

13 is for enter key, you can insert any key value there.

    I don't get it, this looks like some manual stuff you have to type, not something that Selenium creates automatically while recording what you type. If I have to create something like the above for every keystroke I need I am going to go crazy, because my web app relies almost exclusively on keystrokes to do *everything*. – Michael Aug 15 '13 at 16:44
  • Yes, selenium will not records such events (enter key, tab key etc.), we have to provide manual steps into scripts.But you can pass test as input that selenium IDE can record. – Rohit Ware Aug 19 '13 at 06:17
