git-gui: Moving keyboard focus to "changed files"

Question

I'm trying to use my computer with keyboard only, without touching the mouse.

In git-gui, how do I move the keyboard focus to the list of changed files, so I can stage them (Ctrl + T) one-by-one? I know I can stage all changed files with Ctrl + I, but it doesn't work for staging newly created files.

You can control a few things with the keyboard:

• using Alt + <1st-character-menu-item> to open a menu, e.g. Alt + C for the Commit menu
• there are a bunch a shortcuts available like F5 for refresh
• using Shift + Tab and Ctrl + Tab you jump around the buttons Rescan to Push, New Commit to Amend Last Commit and to the Commit Message box

However I found no way to jump to the [Un]Staged Changes boxes and also to [un]stage hunks or lines.
