entering the color with keyboard is a good point, so I agree not a
showstopper,
For the spinbox I agree it's a much less annoying case than the
chooseColor, but still, I agree with Matthias that 1 tab stop would be
preferable to 3.
thanks,

sounds reasonable.
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".
for spinbox I can see that one TAB is enough as well.
don't have tabIndex for the buttons. use arrow keys to
de or increase the value.
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.
