Using browse objects in character interfaces

Browse objects in character interfaces operate in two distinct modes: row mode and edit mode.

In row mode, the user can select and change focus among rows, as well as navigate (tab) to widgets outside the browse. In edit mode, the user can edit and tab between enabled cells within the browse. A user can only enter edit mode in an updateable browse, but can operate in row mode in either a read-only or an updateable browse.
