Description Jim Amsden CLA 2002-02-26 13:28:54 EST 
In the properties view, there's no way to move from value to value using the 
keyboard. Tab, shift-tab, or up and down arrow keys should move to the next or 
previous value.

This is an accessibility issue.
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-03-11 15:45:52 EST 
The following should work:
- up/down arrow to go to next/prev property
- F2 to edit current property (this is very common in Windows)
- Enter to accept edit
- Esc to cancel edit
- Tab to go to next property

Using arrows or tab should accept any current edit.

Usability rather than accessibility issue as you can get to it via the keyboard
Comment 4 Chris McLaren CLA 2002-09-11 17:23:08 EDT 
in eclipse 2.0 tab and shift-tab are used to navigate into and out of the property tree view. 
up and down navigate properties correctly.
