Sure. But this is ugly as |n| depends on the number/kind of open
toolbars / floating windows. So, that's nothing you can do blindly.
Similar with other shortcuts: You can't focus the navigator with
keyboard, you can only toggle it. Means you either need to press F5 once
(if it is not open currently) or twice (if it *is* open). Again, you
need to first *look* and then *do*. How distracting.

A *good* keyboard navigation is one where you can memorize a fixed
keyboard combination which does always the same thing, regardless of the
program state. At least that's how I would defined it ... (and I love my
keyboard, too - moving a hand away from the keys to the mouse is so
workflow-breaking, isn't it? :)

Well, yes, good idea too :)

Ciao
