<div>I'm just telling you the way it is for me. If I'm not representative of the average user, (I thought I might be) then don't worry about going from hover to click. I've noticed that I often find myself with the wrong tab open even if the one I wanted was initially selected. Usually it occurs when I'm trying to go from clicking the K up to some item, when I'm trying to reach the last item or grab the scrollbar, or skimming the list with my mouse pointer.

<div>It's no big deal though. There appear to be a number of K-Menu choices becoming available if after using this for awhile it still doesn't "fit" my mouse style then I can try one of them.</div>
