[Usability] Re: Keyboard navigation- outstanding issues

[MM <my_gnome_usability gmx net>]

You could use Tab for navigation between wigeds.
When entering a multiline input field switch to the use of Tab for 
textediting after the first
normal keypress (eg. afterpressing the t key or any other letter)
You can then use the Tab for typing your text .
You can then exit the multiline field using  the Alt key.
After pressing the Alt key the Tab key is again usable for navigation 
betweeen wigets.

Sounds complicated but the only difference the user notices is when he 
has to
press the Alt key to exit the multiline widget. Which is not a big sep 
because the
Alt key is already used to swich to the menu wigets (like in normal 
textediting word like applications)
