Further key commands can also change the selection inside the Part box:
 Next Partbox Symbol and Previous Partbox Symbol: The Next Partbox Symbol key
command selects the symbol to the right of the selected object. The Previous
Partbox Symbol key command selects the object to the left. When the last object in a
group is reached, selection cycles back to the first object in the group.
 Next Partbox Group and Previous Partbox Group: The Next Partbox Group key
command selects the object group below the current (selected) one. Previous
Partbox Group moves one group up. The most recently selected object within each
group is retained when switching between groups.
Note: As the group display can be reordered, the current display order of groups
determines the previous and next group.
