If you are subclassing JButtons anyway you might try to let them return
true on isManagingFocus and _not_ trap the TAB in processKeyEvents. Now
the TAB should fall through to keyboard bindings and you can handle it
centrally in one place, f.i. in an action registered to the panel when
it is the ancestor of the components.
