Hmm, don't think so. Usually the FocusManager get's all the tabs (Ctrl-tab unconditionally, the normal tabs if the Component is not interested in it). And Buttons are not interested in tabs as far as I remember. > The buttons reside in a JPanel which is also > registered for the TAB keystroke (under the condition of > JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT since it never gets focus > directly). The problem is that the JPanel never detects the TAB key input. Let the panel return true on isManagingFocus(). That's the method the FocusManager calls to check the components' interest in tabs. No - will not work (just checked my notes...). FocusManager is the first to see any keyevent of a focused component and processes the tabs if the isManagingFocus returns false. Since your panel never gets focus it never passes any keyevents to FocusManager, since the components on the panel don't manage focus the tab is never reaches the bindings processing... Why do you want the panel to get the TAB?
