One thing that I really find myself missing in Chrome are the incredibly useful automatic access keys of Konqueror. Konqueror assigns every link on a page with a keyboard shortcut. If you press the CTRL key, yellow boxes, each one with a letter in it, will appear near the links of the page, and if you press the specified letter Konqueror will follow that link.
For example, Konqueror assigns the "New post" link for a Google group with the letter N. So to post a new message, you press CTRL and then N. Here's a screenshot of access keys in action: http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/148/konqueroraccesskeysxe3.png As you can see Konqueor tries to assign links with their initial letter. It also assigns input fields, and hitting the key for an input field brings the cursor there. So in the screenshot above, I could hit CTRL then A to search Chromium-discu. Not only does this make browsing web pages easier and quicker, and it's not just an accessibility solution for the disabled. It definitely makes the web as such act more like applications, and after all that is the aim of this project. I hope the developers will consider adding this feature to Chrome. Of course Google apps already have access keys, which is great. The difference is that automatic access keys work on *all* pages, and moreover, it works *the same way* everywhere. As the feature is implemented in Konqueror, it does not conflict with Google access keys, but if it is implemented in Chrome, perhaps it could be redesigned to integrate even more smoothly with web apps that already offer access keys.
