Once the red-highlight puts the focus on an edit field then the input should
go to that field. You shouldn't have to activate it with a key click like
Space or Insert before typing the input.

To mimic a muose click on a button or checkbox then a keystroke is needed.
On windos and linux this is Space I believe.

I think it was me that originally asked for this feature after it had been
done in Ataricq. It works really well in quite a lot of apps although some
obviously use non-standard dialogues but XaAES doesn't seem to cause any
problems in these cases.
