It might be better to start with the focus on the list of projects, with the first item selected and highlighted. Then tabbing should cycle through the buttons on the side first and then through the bottom row.
Fix related to nbFocusManager.
It seems like initial focus is on button "New" instead JList, but traversal order is right : side buttons -> bottom buttons. verified [nb_release33](20011220). Maya, if you aren't agree , please reopen.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
