Description ingwarr 2009-11-11 11:06:29 UTC 
Java Accessibility:
1) Can we add mnemonics for all tabs presented on "Plugin" form. It makes ease to access them. 
2) When focus is on one of a tab's title it's possible to move by arrows keys only once. Cyclic moving through the tabs is required.
3) Main form should have a default button which responds to the "Enter" key.  
   It can be Install/Uninstall button.

This issues is found on JavaME SDK3.0, but Plugins UI is provided by NetBeans platform.

Now it's possible to move between tabs using CTRL + PageUp/Down. It works over whole NetBeans, so it doesn't make sense to do it other way in Plugin form.

You probably tried it in some older version where Ctrl + PageUp/Down didn't work. I think this solutions resolves your problem as well.

This is maybe good point, but you can easily select action by ALT+ selected mnemonic...

Thank you for your ideas.
