Arrow key support would have to wait as that is a much bigger ER. The
worst of it is that at least in FF, a selection border is not visible,
so the user cannot even tell if one of the color palette cells even
has the focus. So right now, a tab stop or arrow key support is
useless.

Also, I don't see this as an accessible requirement at the moment as
the user can still can manually enter a color (not saying that it
should not work your way, just that it isn't a show stopper).

It sounds like I should add a tab index to the upper-left swatch (the
delete cell) and add a new ER bug to add keyboard support to the
chooseColor. BTW, chooseColor is one of those old deprecated renderers
that still needs to be re-written for "JSF-style rendering".

Spinbox is different, it uses arrow keys to change the values but
there are only 2 buttons. A color palette has many clickable color
swatches.
