Description Christophe Elek CLA 2003-02-24 07:13:27 EST
I understand it may be a Platform UI issue instead of a PDE issue, but I 
didn't want to lose the entry point.
When I enter the id of the menu, how do in go in the cell under using the 
keyboard only ? I tried TAB, Arrow, Enter and page down... nothing works

This is indeed a property sheet accessibility issue.

Moving to Platform Ui for comments.

Try:
- <esc> to cancel the current cell editor
- up/down arrow to choose a different property

This is admittedly non-intuitive.  We are adding support for Tab/Shift+Tab to 
navigate between properties.

Fixed in RC2 candidate load.

Navigation of the properties sheet is done via the arrow keys, not the tab 
keys. 

Key navigation has been changed such that arrow up/down will move you up/down 
without activating a cell editor.  Pressing enter on a cell editor will 
activate it.  You can then either press enter or tab in the cell editor to 
accept the change, or escape to cancel.  Arrows can then be used to navigate 
up/down appropriately.  Arrow right/left expand/collapse the tree.

Tab navigation cycle between the view, its folder tab, and the toolbars.

There are two SWT issues on linux, both which are being investigated by SWT.
1/  Motif: selecting first column does not activate cell editor
2/  Motif/GTK: closing cell editor does not return focus to the table
