I'll make my position clear - when it is being used to navigate within the main window the Tab/BackTab key should NOT shift keyboard focus away from the current control group (e.g. F&R, Book Browser, ToC, Clips, Preview etc) to another control group. Tab should wrap around within the group, like a dialogue box does.

Toolbars should never get keyboard focus. Nor perhaps should the Font size control group, if one doesn't want to use the mouse there are items in the View Menu or settable shortcut keys.

If focus is given to Preview the Tab key should cycle through the buttons i.e. Inspect, Select all . . . Print. A Tab in the text should be ignored. At the moment it leaps into F&R… if it's showing, otherwise the CodeView tab bar gets focus.


This is what I get when I right click (or press equivalent keys) on any of the Run Automate List buttons, I was hoping to get access to Edit Automate List feature:

Ah-hah, scratch that - I see I get that when I right click any toolbar button - a quick access menu sort of.

I suggest flyout menus be provided for Run Automation Lists and Edit Automation Lists - maybe allow for more than three. I also suggest a toolbar be created for the Give Focus to xxxxx menu items.
