<title>KEYBOARD TRAVERSAL</title>
<p>To enable keyboard traversal for a toplevel window
containing a notebook widget <i>$nb</i>, call:
</p>
<example>
ttk::notebook::enableTraversal $nb
</example>
<p>This will extend the bindings for the toplevel window
containing the notebook as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Control-Tab</b> selects the tab following the currently selected one.
</li>
<li><b>Shift-Control-Tab</b> selects the tab preceding the currently selected one.
</li>
<li><b>Alt-K</b>, where <b>K</b> is the mnemonic (underlined) character
of any tab, will select that tab.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Multiple notebooks in a single toplevel may be enabled for traversal,
including nested notebooks.  
However, notebook traversal only works properly if all panes
are direct children of the notebook.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>TAB IDENTIFIERS</title>
<p>The <i>tabid</i> argument to the above commands may take
any of the following forms:
</p>
<ul>
<li>An integer between zero and the number of tabs;
</li>
<li>The name of a slave window;
</li>
<li>A positional specification of the form "@<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>",
which identifies the tab 
</li>
<li>The literal string "<b>current</b>",
which identifies the currently-selected tab; or:
</li>
<li>The literal string "<b>end</b>",
which returns the number of tabs 
(only valid for "<i>pathname</i> <b>index</b>").

</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<title>VIRTUAL EVENTS</title>
<p>The notebook widget generates a <b>&lt;&lt;NotebookTabChanged&gt;&gt;</b>
virtual event after a new tab is selected.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>EXAMPLE</title>
<example>
notebook .nb
.nb add [frame .nb.f1] -text "First tab"
.nb add [frame .nb.f2] -text "Second tab"
.nb select .nb.f2
ttk::notebook::enableTraversal .nb
