Sure.
Inside the tab control, there are three windows which are embedded in an
SWT component called a group.
It is necessary for housing the components in the tab window.
When you open the program, the control tab is highlighted.
If you hit control + tab, the group is now in focus. It is only there to
house components so that's why you can't type anything.
The tab traversal order needs to be set to skip this component.
When you hit control + tab again. The tree view is highlighted. It is
automatically populated when an XML document is open.
Once a document can be opened properly, it's functionality will make more
sense.
When you hit the control + tab again, you are in the text view. This is
where you have been typing.
If you hit control + tab again, this is the braille view. It is still
read-only for the time being.
Thanks for pointing out the issue. Keep in mind that this application is a
work in progress so at this stage a lot of things like
tweaking the UI for accessibility need some work.
