Tab between fields in TableViewer

Question

What I\'d like to do is be able to tab between elements in table.

I currently am creating my table like this.

this.tableViewer = 
            new T

I think by default tab does not jump from cell to cell in an swt table. Instead it traverses to the next control. So you'll also need to tell it not to traverse when tab is pressed

KeyListener keyListener = new KeyLisener()
{
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt)
    {
        if (evt.keyCode == SWT.TAB)
        {
            // There are numerous setSelection methods.  I'll leave this to you. 
            tableViewer.getTable().setSelection(...)
        }
    }

    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent evt){}
}

TraverseListener traverseListener = new TraverseListener()
{
    public void keyTraversed(TraverseEvent evt)
    {
        if (evt.keyCode == SWT.TAB)
            evt.doit = false;
    }
}

tableViewer.getTable().addKeyListener(keyListener);
tableViewer.getTable().addTraverseListener(traverseListener);

Also, as derBiggi suggested, the listeners need to be added to the Table object, not the TableViewer.
