keyboard navigation across containers [message #181649]

I am unable to navigate (with the arrow keys) between a node in one
container to a node in another container (the containers share the same
parent and are physically next to each other). I can navigate between
nodes in the same container just fine...it just when I need to make the
"jump" to the next container's nodes the it doesn't work.

BTW (in case this matters), I have disabled selection requests for the
containers (I actually return the root edit part for the container
selection requests). This is because I want them to appear as part of the
root container (they are in essence swimlanes).

What piece of code is responsible for the arrow key navigation? What will
I need to do (roughly) to get cross container navigation?

Thanks,

- Jason

I haven't looked at the keyboard handler in a while, but I think there is a
navigation siblings method which rounds up all of the things which you want
to consider as at the same navigation level.

You know about ALT+UP and DOWN I assume?
