Sounds very nice.
Especially interesting for me was following quote:

"Peter also demonstrated the special,
dynamic features of GOK.  He showed how GOK utilizes the rich accessibility
architecture of the GNOME platform to enumerate the menu items and toolbar
elements, and present them on their own dynamic keyboards allowing switch
and dwell users to directly select them (rather than having to select the
TAB button on the on-screen keyboard a series of time to get to the toolbar
entry).  He also demonstrated the special "UI Grab" feature of GOK, which
creates a special keyboard for dialog boxes and other windows presenting all
of the controls for direct selection of them."

How exactly is this going to work, ie. in what regard does it differ from
standard keyboard input or keyboard controlled pointer? Are on screen elements
dynamically mapped to specific keys on the keyboard?

Thanks, Datschge
