Description Douglas Pollock CLA 2007-01-08 13:01:50 EST 
It might make sense to have Alt+Left mapped to the Back button in wizards.  Similarly Alt+Right mapped to the Next button.  This should be quick/easy to do.

Implementation should reuse the binding for Navigate > Back/Forward, which already has correct shortcuts on the Mac.

Your suggestion would require the WizardDialog to expose API to navigate back and forward. E.g. make backPressed() and nextPressed() public or something along these lines.

In addition, new handlers for the back/forward commands would be needed. Those would only be active while a wizard dialog is open.

Does this meet your ideas?
