Using Vault version 3.5.1.4786.
Every time an operation is performed on a file or folder (i.e. View, Edit, Get Latest), that file/folder loses the focus to the currently active tab in the lower pane. This is rather inconvenient if you use the keyboard extensively to work with files/folders in the list controls. I have to tab three times to get the focus back to the highlighted file.
I believe the intent here was to make switching between tabs easier (using arrow keys), however I find that I need to switch tabs much less frequently than navigate in the list controls. That may or may not be the case for other people, so perhaps a "Keep focus on" option can be added, with values such as "Files", "Folder tree", "Tabs", etc. Thanks.

Suggestion: keep focus on highlighted file/folder
