- Keyboard input to non-text widgets is not defined at all in either the
- Function spec or style guide. I guess it was something that Sun
- decided to implement on their own.
-
- I understand that in a later version of OLIT keyboard focus is to be
- indicated by use of a "supercaret" (i.e. a small triangle below the
- focus widget as in OLWM) instead of the red stain.
-
- The mouseless resource is, I beleive, only available in OLIT 3.0 at
- patchelvel 19 or greater. The current patchlevel is 30 which also
- sorts out the problems with carets in every text field and focus
- jumping to menu buttons after selecting menu items with the mouse.
