Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2001-10-10 22:19:49 EDT 
For accessibility purposes, one should be able to do work without a pointing device
(i.e. strictly from the keyboard). This means menu accelerators and mnemonics,
as well as keyboard sequences for navigating to different viewers. 

Some items that come to mind:
-- alt-(left cursor) and alt-(right cursor) for the drill down viewer, similar to back and forward in Microsoft Explorer.
-- ability to switch between existing open viewers without having to select their tab with a mouse
-- ability to navigate window controls within a view 
-- tab groups allowing navigation to any control within Wizard page

NOTES:

All these items are now keyboard accessible.
