The edit box has a Alt+E keyboard shortcut and the file list has the Alt+F -
you will get to any of them with one keypress. Removing the controls from
the Tab order is possible but to my personal opinion is not the best idea.
Per my request Stefan added accessibility support to the TSVN (I am
personally totally blind) and when the blind person tabs over the controls
he can miss that some of the controls can be focused though they are not in
the tab order. In addition a lot of the keyboard shortcuts were added due to
my accessibility requests to help me handle the workflow as fast as
possible. So you can use them for keyboard control of the process.

Serge.
