[BRLTTY] Which BrlTTY commands are the equivalent of a Tab and Shift+Tab in a GUI?

Hmmm...you might be thinking about Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab, which are 
used to switch between windows.  I'm talking strictly about Tab and 
Shift+Tab, which are used to navigate between objects within a window.  
So, for example, one might tab between checkboxes, pushbuttons, 
sliders, text areas, etc., in a window.  The developers of many GUIs 
also take care so that the tab order of things in the window (or web 
page for that matter) represent the logical reading order.

The thought here is to help reduce the amount of time a user needs to 
switch their hands between the braille display and the keyboard when 
browsing the contents of a single window.  So, in effect, what I'm 
looking for is a way to mimic Tab and Shift+Tab from the braille 
display.

Thanks!
