[izpack-devel] Heading panel, panels counter

[Miraodb]

Hi Klaus,

After reading your mail, i realised that too.
It depends on wether you have the focus at first place for me. And it
depends on which type of button too.
For instance, if i start the installer and don't touch anything, then the
focus is on the First button.
To move back and forth between button i can use tab,cntr+tab,shift+tab and
cntr+shift+tab.
Once the cursor is on a listbox, i can use the up and down arrow keys to
select from the list and then use enter to select it and use tab to change
button again.
Same thing for text area, i can go there using tab and then move down or up
with arrow keys.

Now the tricky part, concerning the radio button, we can use only keyboard
to access it.
Once moving to the text area (licence panel) using the tabs, if you press
once tab and then space, it changes to yes instead of no and put the focus
on the next button. Thus by pressing space again, you validate the licence.

The only problem i have is with the checkboxes, once i check one using space
it seems like i can't leave the checkboxes area.

So far, that's my analysis.

Can you check it too ?
Some inputs from anyone is more than welcome too.

Cheers,
Fabrice
