Hi Frank, Jonaton, *,

Though I would *not* bet my life on it, I'd say it actually is - at
least in principle. There might be things which are cumbersome (trying
to press an arbitrary button in an arbitrary toolbar is /possible/
without a mouse, but not remotely fun), but there shouldn't be anything
unreachable.
F10, n * Ctrl-Tab, n * -> :-)
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.
True.
Similar with other shortcuts: You can't focus the navigator with
keyboard, you can only toggle it.
F10 + n * Ctrl-Tab passes by that station too.
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.
Far from ideal. Agree.
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? :)
It is.
However, knowing for example the difficulties in Localization to assign
useful shortcuts only to the menu, main tool bar and formatting bar, how
ever can that be possible for all the floating/context dependent tool
bars and panes?
I didn't look at other products, but I think it is very hard, if
possible at all. Pls correct me (whoever is reading) if I'm wrong.
Luckily, actions most often used, are pretty easy, IMO.
Cheers,
Cor
