My expectation would be that the keyboard focus disappears when a
mouse click occurs. Something like the following:

1 - The player is playing using the mouse.
2 - One of the keyboard navigation actions is triggered.
3 - The keyboard selection becomes visible around the node last
modified by the mouse.
4 - The keyboard action performs its operation.
5 - The player continues to play using the keyboard.
6 - The mouse is used to click a node.
7 - The keyboard selection disappears.
8 - The mouse action is applied to node that was clicked.

I'm not familiar with the KNetwalk internals, but that seems like it
would be fairly straight forward to implement. Just have your actions
check to see if the current "mode" matches the type (mouse or
keyboard) of action requested. If not, switch modes.

I hope that makes sense.
