I agree on that; there are some parts that kind of work but need attention.
I'll get into that below;

Hmm, my first reaction was that tabbing to the tabs and pressing left-right 
should work, since they are still normal widgets.
Unfortunately this fails, so I just added:

Something that has bothered me in konqueror (khtml actually) is keyboard 
navigation on pages that use tables. I think the current way now uses the 
ordering of the html elements to tab over them. So even if two things are 
on the same horizontal line; the html code may make you have to tab 20 
times to reach it.

Another kind of tabbing behavior should be created for html pages; 
left-to-right / top-to-bottom seems like a much better idea to me..

Anyone know of such an idea already? Should I create a bugreport?
