I'd be very happy with this one. > 10.2.4.2. Standard Widget Navigation Shortcut Keys in > http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-keyboard.html.en > lists some interesting keys, like: > > F6, Shift+F6 - Give focus to next/previous pane in a GtkPaned window > F8 - Give focus to splitter bar in paned window Giving focus to the other pane in a GtkPane is not enough, because each pane consists of a VBox layout containing the location bar and the notebook, so I really want to focus the directory view, and not the location bar, so one would have to fiddle around with the focus chain again. > Maybe we could use F4 or something for switching between views / > focusing the view. I'd like Ctrl-Tab much better. For my personal gut feeling it's much more intuitive than e.g. F4 (which I connect to closing things). Tab is already closely connected to focusing things, be it Alt-Tab for the WM, or Tab alone for the focus chain. I can very well see Ctrl-Tab become "focus the most important thing of the current window, or iterate between equally important things if you're already there".
