tab-along-grid

Arguments: grid backp

Moves the keyboard focus to the "next" or "previous" cell within a grid-widget. The "next" cell is defined as follows:

• the cell immediately to the right of the currently-focused cell if there is a next cell in the same grid-section,
• or else the leftmost cell in the next row down if there is a next row in the same grid-section,
• or else the upper left cell in the same grid-section.

If backp is true, then the focus is moved in the opposite direction to what was just described.

The TAB key performs this functionality when a grid-widget has the keyboard focus and the tabstop property of the grid-widget is turned off. (If tabstop is turned on, then the tab key will tab to the next widget rather than tabbing to the next cell within the grid-widget.)
