Hi everyone,

I have a WPF application where we want to implement more shortcuts to allow the users to navigate around without the mouse. Here is a scenario.

We have a view that contains some controls that you can tab between. Then there are some expander controls which contain either more navigatable controls or a grid. We would like to tab from control to control and down through the expanders, but I would also like to jump if you will from any control to the next expander; or expander to expander. This would allow the users to get quicker access to sections on a view.

This application is tabbed in a main window so moving between tabs should be done with Ctrl + F-6 based on the standards I found. It appears this may be not standard within windows however as Ctrl + Tab seems to do that as well as Ctrl + Page Up / Page Dwn. Hmm, why the inconsistency?

I would have liked to use Ctrl + PageUp/ PageDwn for the jump between sections. Now I am confused about what is standard and what would be typical to implement. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Timothy
