This would be a very useful feature to add to XForms. My suggest-
ion (for the developers) is: Implement some navigation types.
(1) type 'NAV_STD' could be a standard movement from top left
of form to bottom right
(2) type 'NAV_COL' could work from top left to bottom left, then
next column (if possible) until right column (top right to
bottom right) is reached
(3) type 'NAV_GRID' could allow navigation in all directions with
cursor keys
This feature would require to distinguish between inner field an
inter field usage of the cursor, though.
