Selecting controls in a panel or the Property
inspector using keyboard shortcuts
When a panel or the Property inspector has the current focus, you can use
the Tab key to move the focus through the panel controls. You can use the
Spacebar to activate the control that has the current focus (that is, pressing
Spacebar is equivalent to clicking a control in the panel).
When you use the keyboard shortcut for panel controls, focus is applied to
a control and the control is activated using the following criteria:
The panel with the current focus must be expanded in order for you to
select a control in the panel with the Tab key. If the panel is collapsed,
pressing Tab has no effect.
When the panel with the current focus is expanded, pressing Tab the
first time moves the focus to the panel's pop-up menu.
