Initially, when you open the dictionary widget from the reader, FocusManager will function as usual. On Kindle 4 or devices with a keyboard, I have assigned the shortcuts <kbd>screenkb</kbd> + <kbd>up</kbd>/<kbd>down</kbd> or <kbd>shift</kbd> + <kbd>up</kbd>/<kbd>down</kbd> to initiate text selection (as a remainder, on kindle text selection in reader is initiated with <kbd>up</kbd>/<kbd>down</kbd> so it is fairly similar). At this point, FocusManager is disabled, allowing the cursor keys (and press) to control the now-visible crosshairs. Pressing <kbd>back</kbd> should stop text selection and restore FocusManager’s control of the widget.
