On the one hand, I believe in giving the developer the freedom to do what he
wants (which, unfortunately, sometimes includes shooting himself in the foot).
On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for consistency.  A user shouldn't
have to "know" the application to know how to use a particular widget; it
should work the same way in every application (with some amount of
configurability to allow for application differences).  It wouldn't be obvious
whether this tree is in "cell focus" mode or "row focus" mode, and thus the
keyboard behavior would be unknown.

Let me think about this suggestion for a while.

Cheers,

Derrell

ps. I can see how you'd use this in the tree, but how would it apply to Table?
