Thanks!  I'll take a look.

The components are within the notebook, but I want to change the default 
component that is in focus when the tab is selected.  For example, in 
external-tools, I was setting the read-only textarea as focused, so you 
can highlight the output with the cursor via the keyboard without having 
to tab into that component first.

How about adding the button along the bottom of the dialog (to the left 
of where it says "Apply", "Cancel", "OK"), and just having it take you 
to the currently selected plugin's shortcuts?

Thanks,
