Description Jesse Glick 2007-06-19 18:40:40 UTC 
070618, Gnome, JDK 6. I open the NetBeans Platform Manager and choose Add Platform. After selecting the correct folder,
I try to press Tab to go to the Next button. Of course this does not work as it is used for completion. Fine; I try
Ctrl-TAB. No, this invokes completion too! I cannot operate this dialog without touching the mouse.

Any component which binds TAB for a special purpose must leave Ctrl-TAB for focus navigation.

Shift+TAB works :-)
Comment 2 David Simonek 2007-06-20 11:50:02 UTC 
now Ctrl+Tab works as well in main trunk:

Checking in DirectoryChooserUI.java;
/cvs/core/swing/dirchooser/src/org/netbeans/swing/dirchooser/DirectoryChooserUI.java,v  <--  DirectoryChooserUI.java
new revision: 1.18; previous revision: 1.17
done
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2007-06-20 18:00:21 UTC 
I tried Shift-TAB but got stuck somewhere else and could not get to the Next button.

I find the patch odd. Ctrl-TAB was not in the original list of focus traversal keys?
Comment 4 David Simonek 2007-06-20 18:13:26 UTC 
No it wasn't, I did the dump...
Comment 5 Tomas Danek 2007-10-10 13:18:02 UTC 
ctrl-tab works now and enter maps then to the "next" button. verified.
