This is right on: the keyboard interaction is the same as the keyboard  
interaction of the Lightbox, since both use the same underlying  
Reorderer. The Reorderer allows the keystrokes to be customized, but  
the ones Erin described are the default sets.

The use of Ctrl+arrow keys is defined in the behavioural spec:

(pages 20-21).

The styles currently used are based on the behavioural specification  
(see the link above), page 20.
Were these not the correct specifications?

This is what I see when I use the Lightbox. In the *portlet* example,  
these styles are not implemented yet - there is only a faint grey  
border to indicated the selected portlet. Is this what you're seeing,  
Daphne?
