Description Pawessum16 2011-06-07 06:04:16 UTC 
When editing a php program in the graphical diff mode I've found that the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys don't work. When editing the file alone by itself in the editor the keys work fine, but in the graphical diff mode pressing these keys will make the text cursor disappear, and I'll have to click back onto the text to make the text cursor appear again. The only way to bypass this is to either move back to the regular editing mode, or to manually put in tabs or remove tabs by using the spacebar and backspace keys.

the Tab is consumed for control navigation. It's a question whether this should be changed - at least some key must be available for escaping the editor.

Reassigning to the code owner. Please review and/or apply the attached patch; it disables focus fw/bw for the editable pane, but also maps ESC to focus upwards, which gives focus to the diff layout container, and the user may cycle backwards/forwards.
