FYI - Upgrading from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 fixed the Shift Tab
functionality. The dialog parameters to put Tab and Shift Tab on the
Down and Up Arrow keys were:
NotebookEventActions->
{"DownArrowKeyDown":>FrontEndTokenExecute["Tab"],
"UpArrowKeyDown":>FrontEndTokenExecute["MovePreviousPlaceHolder"]}
May this info serve you well. ;-)
