Fair enough.

I use the Tab key to move the focus 'forward' from one control to the next… the buttons, drop downs, check boxes etc. The problem I have is that Tab will also move focus between the various windows - e.g from the F&R Count all button to the Book Browser, and then to a Codeview tab, and
sometimes into the CodeView text box (I've yet to fully fathom why it is 'sometimes') and I end up with something like this:
The issue would be alleviated if there was better visual indication of where keyboard focus is currently located.
Now that Sigil has specific menu actions and shortcuts to give focus to the various windows (but no toolbar buttons ?) maybe its time to consider removing the ability give focus to the various windows by Tabbing into them.
