Reported by john.bra...@gmail.com, Nov 5, 2012
When a user tabs through a web page and encounters a tree, it seems that the best practice for 508 compliance (http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/) is for the tab to put the focus on the tree and then a subsequent tab continues on past the tree on to the next element. Currently, the tab key is equivalent to the down arrow key and thus users using only a keyboard must navigate through the entire tree before being able to exit. It would be helpful one could set an attribute to modify the behavior of tab events to allow for a tab event to hop over the tree. In this case the user can use arrow keys to navigate within the tree if desired.

As of 2014 Dynatree is feature frozen.
Please have a look at Fancytree (sequel of DynaTree 1.x): chances are good that the problem was resolved / the requested featuer is already implemented.
Please open a new issue there otherwise:
