Standard Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

Base panels and popups are known in Windows terminology as "dialog boxes".  Dialog boxes are the containers for your controls, and for practical purposes, are composed of your client area.

These are the standard Windows keyboard shortcuts assigned to dialog boxes.  Most, if not all, of them are implemented by GUI ScreenIO.

You should avoid these key combinations when you assign keyboard shortcuts to your menu items or blind menus.
