Sadly, if the application developer is so perversely inclined, he'll be able
to prevent you from navigating with the keyboard.

But the idea of the xwt widget set will be to make things naturally
navigatable with the keyboard.

Hotkeys?  Elaborate please.

That's great, but how do I get to it from a keyboard?  Nothing pisses me off

more than apps which have widgets you can't hit from a keyboard.  (I'm 
talking any app, not just XWT apps.)

Hotkeys are a possibility, but how are we labelling hotkeys?  Do buttons
have 
hotkey functionality right now? (I don't think they do, and it's not 
necessary for completion, but the hooks have to be made.)

Andrew
