A system to control navigation of graphical user interface (GUI) panels on a web page includes a processor and a storage medium that stores instructions that are configurable to cause the processor to perform a method of navigating the GUI panels. The method controls display of a web page having GUI panels, and receives input associated with a command to change focus away from a first GUI panel. The input is generated in response to selection of an assigned keyboard key, selection of an assigned combination of keyboard keys, or selection of an assigned sequence of keyboard keys by a user. In response to receiving the input, a second GUI panel is identified, and focus is switched from the first GUI panel to the second GUI panel.
