Guidelines
RequiredSupport window navigation when an explicit focus policy is in effect at
the workspace level, that is, at the topmost level of windows on the screen.
RecommendedWhen a user activates a choice that displays a window, and an explicit
focus policy is in effect, move the input focus to that window unless the user
has switched input focus to another window.
RecommendedWhen a window is closed, return the input focus to where it was before
that window was opened, if possible.
RecommendedDo not provide window navigation when an implicit focus policy is in
effect at the workspace level, that is, at the topmost level of windows on the
screen.
RecommendedWhen keyboard navigation is used to move input focus into a window family,
place focus on the window that most recently was either displayed or gained
focus.
RequiredWhen the user presses Alt Esc, move the input focus forward between window
families.
RequiredWhen the user presses Alt Shift Esc, move the input focus backward between
window families.
RequiredWhen the user presses Alt F6, move the input focus forward between windows
within a window family.
RequiredWhen the user presses Alt Shift F6, move the input focus backward between
windows within a window family.
RequiredIf there is no window icon box, assign Alt Esc and Alt Shift Esc to move
the input focus among icons as well as windows. Window icons that are not in a
window icon box should be treated as a window family consisting of a single
window.
