Sadly, here we see yet another way to be a cheesy gameplayer. The REASON those little nooks & crannies were so small was so that only METICULOUS and DILIGENT players would notice them, and be rewarded with cool stuff, not so that every bozo who figures out what the TAB button does can walk around with some magical X-Ray vision and see into all the secret compartments in the world.

I do use the Tab button, but only to highlight dropped items, for instance when I'm collecting loot right after a big fight, and I'm not sure if I've checked all the corpses, or perhaps one of them is obscured behind a tree or something. As far as using Tab to find little hidey-holes goes, if I didn't mouse over it, I didn't see it.
