Ability to use arrow keys to navigate WUI

With the end of the GUI in sight, this is one of the basic differences that holds me back from using the WUI day-to-day. Being able to drive everything from the keyboard makes for much faster data entry; not being able to press the down key to move between filters (for example) is a pain. I appreciate it's a completely different platform, but is using the arrow keys to move between fields a possibility?

    Hi Guys,
    We are looking at this but it won't be quick. Unfortunately, you may have
    to live with this idiosyncrasy a little longer.
    cheers

    If we could get this functionality ASAP that would be great. Having been forced over to the WUI now this is a big frustration, it is so inefficient not to be able to arrow up & down between data entry fields in just about all areas of Jobpac. It is very painful!

    Further to this, perhaps changing the Tab order is also a way to improve the navigation of pages. Particularly in filters it makes more sense to go up and down between two fields rather than across the fields.

    Thanks Andrew, I note it seems to be possible as some screens do have the ability to navigate via arrow keys, ie Change Payment Selection. You can move at least up and down rows using the up and down arrow keys in that program.
