OK, that was a question I had for the toolbars section: I think KDE4 should 
much more support dynamic support of the current context of use, e.g. when 
editing a table, extended table options should appear automatically so the 
user does not have to go to the menu. 

i was not sure if this should be done by toolbars or dockers. dockers allow 
the usage of more interactive widgets. but toolbars better dock into the 
application (at least for small panels). in the toolbars guidelines 
(http://wiki.openusability.org/guidelines/index.php/Guidelines:Tool_Bar), i 
wrote people should use dynamic toolbars, that's why i think keyboard access 
is important. i can change this suggestion to dynamic dockers if that is what 
koffice supports.
