My little test...
<CTRL-O><B>  brings up the browser
Arrow keys scroll the Packages pane.
What I can't seem to do via keyboard is get to the "Filter..." input box
That could be useful.  Perhaps <CTRL-F> from here could be re-purposed for
"Filter..."?

How many people currently use <CTRL-F> from the Packages pane? (I never
have)

The next thing to determine is how to move to the Class pane.
<TAB> could be a good candidate?

Also, <CTRL-TAB> currently opens an Inspector on the currently selected
package or class.
Is that a common requirement?  <CTRL-TAB> might be better used to cycle
between
the tabs in the bottom pane, which would align with common usage in web
browsers?

The above functional reassignments of <CTRL-F>, <TAB> & <CTRL-TAB>
could provide a reasonably good start to keyboard-only browser use.
Where can the current definitions of these for Calypso be found?

Pharo has been working to consolidate these - still ongoing.
If someone can provide a lead in to the related definitions for Calypso's
<CTRL-F>, <TAB> & <CTRL-TAB>
perhaps experiment with it and propose a PR.
