Accessibility
tdstedman:
Sorry, I missed that one comment. I just went through the complete list of shortcuts at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts, trying to find an available combo. All of the ones I would have liked to use are taken. However, I think Ctrl+\ (Control + Backslash) is open. And following standard usage of adding Shift to cycle in the opposite direction, I suppose Ctrl+\ could cycle panels in one direction (i.e. clockwise), and Ctrl+Shift+\ could cycle in reverse (i.e. counterclockwise). Do you think that would work?
Thanks again,
Tim

Sure. I need to check if these are not set by C::B itself, but if not, then I can change this accordingly.
One question is still open though: Is the focus set to the right UI component? (Using the menu function...)

The focus at what time? I am not sure of your question.

Well the primary goal was to focus the the management panel, "logs and others" just like (what was already there) focussing to the current editor.
Now you can focus any UI component. I decided to focus to the currently active tab's content in the management panel and "logs and others". The question is, if that is correct. The focus could also be put to e.g. the tree in the project management panel or the tab it self... whatever is needed.
So my question was: Does the current implementation really helps for accessibility (try the menu "View" -> "Focus [...]" entries).

Ok, I see what you were asking. Yes, "Focus Editor" does work perfectly for getting you back into the Editor, so that is always there as the "escape" out of any of the other panels. In terms of setting the focus for other items, I think setting it to the tab of the panel is the best UI component. In doing a little testing, once the focus is on the tabs of the "Logs" panel, the user can move through the tabs by using the left/right arrow keys. Then, he/she can get into the contents of a particular panel (thus letting the screen reader read the contents) by pressing Tab.
Is that the info that you needed?
Thanks,
Tim
