[HIG] REVIEW: 9 - Keyboard Interaction Basics

[Calum Benson <calum benson sun com>]

9.1 Keyboard Navigation

"don't use basic Tab navigation in a dialog to activate any actions
associated with a control".  This technically rules out tab completion,
which people would probably get annoyed with, even though any other
arbitrary key would do just as good a job  :)

9.1.1 Examples

Example 15:  This example all hinges on how Owen manages to get keyboard
navigation for radio button groups to work... it may end up being like
this (Windoze style), or it may end up being like it was (Motif style).

9.1.3 Standard Application Shortcuts and Mnemonics

Table 7: Bookmarks Menu

I stuck the "Add Bookmark" shortcut in this table because it didn't
really fit anywhere else, but do we really want to suggest that any
application with "Add Bookmark" functionality should have a Bookmarks
menu?  If so, it should be in the section about standard menus.
