The default would be fine, but with doing onKeyDown events for other
things, I just want the default behaviour reinstated.

Of course, if I could exchange default Tab behaviour for default
Control-Tab behaviour that would be great, too. Then I can allow
inserting tabs within a multi-line EditText control using just the Tab
key and move from one control to the next using Control-Tab, the exact
opposite of what MS Word does in tables. It just seems more intuitive to
me to use a key qualifier for the 'bigger' behaviour.

Actually, now that I think about it, it might be better to handle
changing focus with Shift-Arrow keys. That would give me two dimensions
of movement with a single paradym.

Hmmm... Guess I should go do some more work on my design spec.

Anything that increases the flexibility of the library is a good idea.
In my original plan for this app, this would have come in handy, so I'm
sure there are other cases where it still would. In fact, this app is
going to have several different windows and it might still come in handy
for one of the others. I haven't nailed down the design spec as yet, so
I don't know for sure.

I don't suppose this tab reordering feature will be in Tuesday's
release, will it? smile
