[JW Lua] Keyboard navigation in JW Lua tabs for macros

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

when starting JW Lua for the first time (on Windows 7 / Finale 2014),
it opens with the "Explorer" tab.
But the keyboard shortcuts seem to be set to "Development" tab.
I.e. when pressing Alt-A the "Save as" dialog opens,
instead of the "Refresh _A_ll" function.

When switching to Development tab and back to Explorer tab,
the Alt-A works again correctly as "Refresh _A_ll".

And three suggestions for keyboard shortcuts:
- Could you please add Alt/Ctrl/Cmd shortcuts for direct switching
   of the three tabs ? (i.e. Alt-E: Explorer, Alt-M: Manager, Alt-V: 
Development)
   That would enable macros, no matter what JW Lua tab is active.
   I.e. it would be possible to start a JW Lua script from within Finale
   with just one keyboard macro shortcut.

- Alternatively you could include the tabs in the element navigation order,
   so that they can be set to focus with the tab key. Currently they are the
   only dialog elements that can not be reached with the tab key (on 
Windows),
   but only with a mouse click. This also makes macros impossible
   that need access to the tabs.

- Could you take out the "Ctrl-F" as long as it deletes selected text ?
   I think it's more dangerous to code than it is helpful. I have 
already had
   several code pieces deleted and didn't notice.
   "Alt-F" should be fine so far.

Have a nice day,
Jan
