Re: My two cents ... again and again

"Windows offers *keyboard only* driven GUI (you can virtually do anything without using a mouse) - the thing which is still *not* possible in *any* Linux DE."

"What can be done with keyboard on Windows that cannot be under KDE?"

Well, I do not know, but unfortunately there are certain things that cannot be driven by keyboard in KDE.
One issue in question are the vertical "side tabs" in Konqueror. Navigating between the various tabs (root directory, home directory, services etc.) can only be done by mouse (I tried to find a possibility to assign a key combination, but I failed. So if there *is* a way to do it, I would welcome any suggestions.) The same with Kaffeine and Amarok (they also have these vertical "side bars").

with tab you should be able to give these tabs focus, and then you can open them... Haven't tried it, though.

I could open sidebars with tab but I couldn't focus in them. Anyway, I don't se any reason to navigate such an interface with keyboard - with keyboard typing in paths with completion is much more convenient. I don't think many users choose Windows because they can navigate such things in Windows.
