Description James Manning 1999-10-29 12:00:35 UTC 
while tab works fine for cycling through fields/buttons,
shift-tab doesn't go through them in the reverse order,
just the same order (would be nice to have shift-tab)

I've checked this behavior on most of the screens and
it seems to exist on all checked
Comment 1 Jay Turner 1999-10-29 13:37:59 UTC 
Try ALT-TAB, as that should work for you.
Comment 2 James Manning 1999-10-29 14:10:59 UTC 
Works great!  Any chance shift-tab could do it to? :)
Comment 3 Jay Turner 1999-11-30 16:01:59 UTC 
This issue has been assigned to a developer for further action.
Comment 4 Jay Turner 2000-02-08 19:27:59 UTC 
This issue has been added to a features list for future releases.
Comment 5 Erik Troan 2000-04-14 15:17:59 UTC 
alt-tab works as you want shift-tab to, and the bottom line of the screen
mentions this

standard vt100 consoles (such as the linux console) don't return a unique
keycode for alt-tab
