[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Now that I have re-read your report, I see that you are thinking that
Hyperbole buttons utilize the Emacs button.el library (which has a keymap
that supports tabbing through buttons).  However, Hyperbole buttons predate
that package by about a decade and so have never utilized it.  So this is
not a bug (either in Emacs or Hyperbole).

I guess what you want are commands that move forward and backward among
explicit or named implicit buttons in a buffer which you can then bind to
keys that you like.  I would suggest you close this report and open a new
feature request, describing the full set of behavior you would like.  Then
we could work on that.

Regards,

Bob
