We should add support for traversing the focus part (without affecting the selection) via keyboard navigation. It should also be possible to change selection via keyboard (using e.g. SPACE on the focus part).

I implemented focus traversal via TAB and SHIFT+TAB provided as an FXTraversalOnTypePolicy that can be bound to the root part. Furthermore, I implemented (de-)selecting the focus part via SPACE as an FXSelectOnTypePolicy that can be bound to individual content parts and to the root part. The code is published on the master branch. Therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 3.11.0M5.
