I don't understand what's difficult about this though.  It sounds fairly
easy to do. :)

Actually, this is a good case for the static 'hotkey' list that I was
talking about (if you read it) to go with focusable.

"TAB" and "tab" would simply be listed hotkeys.

A specific widget could have a special key list for keys it wants to grab.
(Think richedit and tabs.)
