Description Kevin Haaland

The jface dialog should automatically add a listener to its buttons so that the keyboard arrows
can be used to navigate through the series of buttons when the button bar has focus.  All standard
Win32 dialogs support this.

The listener could be added in org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog::createButton.

Unsure exactly what you mean. It is currently possible to cycle through Dialogs 
right now (20020108) using the tab key.

This is an interesting idea. Consider for next release.

Still not sure what this would give us -we already get this behaviour for free.
