Ctrl-Tab and tabs

[Johannes Hofmann]

Hi,

it seems that Ctrl-Tab no longer cycles tabs if an input field is
focused. I did like the previous behaviour better, where Ctrl-Tab
cycled tabs independent of where the focus was.

Cheers,
Johannes

+1. It is annoying that I now often have to click into the URL bar
before doing a Ctrl-(Shift)-Tab .

It feels as though the browser window is handling the Tab key whether
or not it is modified by Ctrl. If it only handled Tab when Ctrl was
not applied and passed it on otherwise, then maybe that would do what
I would like. But I am guessing here - recent discussions in other
threads suggest that this may be more complicated than I realise.

It should be exhibiting the previous behaviour again now...

That is *exactly* what I wanted. Thanks!

Yes, it's a bit complicated because FLTK doesn't use a
signal/slot mechanism to deliver these events, it uses an event
distribution algorithm (which is faster), but needs extra care.

In the other thread I tried to explain the way I used in UI to
handle them and avoid trouble.
