Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:39:55 EDT 
The jface dialog should automatically add a listener to its buttons so that the keyboard arrows
can be used to navigate through the series of buttons when the button bar has focus.  All standard
Win32 dialogs support this.

The listener could be added in org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog::createButton.

Unsure exactly what you mean. It is currently possible to cycle through Dialogs 
right now (20020108) using the tab key.
Comment 3 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-01-24 20:11:55 EST 
This is an interesting idea. Consider for next release.

Reopen to investigate
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-26 11:20:55 EDT 
Still not sure what this would give us -we already get this behaviour for free.
