Is it possible to cycle through the selection of the edit parts in the
main view via the keyboard, ie, pressing tab?
I want to be able to use the arrow keys to move parts around, instead of
using them for selection. Tab is a great alternative to this.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I think you misunderstood me because my original post was clear enough...
I want to be able to cycle through selection of the edit parts
themselves--click to select an edit part, press tab to select its child,
etc.
I already have the arrow keys bound to move each part in the appropriate
direction, but I have no way of selecting a different edit part by using
the keyboard.

What you are suggesting is equivalent to having TAB cycle through treeitems
in a tree. That is much too fine grained of a context for focus cycling.
But, you can do it if you want.
If you want to change the way things work, see graphicalviewerkeyhandler.
You'll probably just want to write a new version of that class from scratch.
Also, there are lots of tools which assume that arrow keys will assist in
their use via keyboard.

I've got it now. Pressing TAB essentially goes to the next part down in
the outline view.
I was having some trouble because it wasn't getting picked up as a key
press/release event--it was a key traverse. I just extended from the
panning selection tool used from the palette and overrode the traverse
handler.
Everything is working great. Thanks!
