I'm testing Ultimate++ and it seems that keyboard navigation is not working or implemented properly, for example lets use the examples/HomeBudget as a test case:

- When executed and the main screen appear if we try to use it only with keyboard, the current widget that has focus is not recognized.
- Pressing ALT we can see the shortcuts for About, Help, Options and Exit and they work.
- It seems that there is no way to add any data through keyboard only, pressing TAB the focus goes as About, Help, Options, Exit, ?, ? and then again About, ...
- Even within TheIDE for example if we open the Setup/Settings there is no way to walk through the tabs.

For comparison FLTK (https://www.fltk.org) has a good keyboard navigation overall.

Am I missing something ?
