[kdepim-users] Kontact keyboard navigation

As my ability to manipulate the mouse deteriorates, I'm more and more
dependent on the keyboard. Some of the things that I still cannot
figure out how to do with the keyboard are:

1) Focus the Kontact search bar. I can in fact Tab over to it, but is
there not a key that will focus it? Hitting the Tab key the correct
amount of times is not always as easy as it sounds.

2) When editing a contact, how does one move between tabs? Such as
General, Details, etc.

3) When editing a contact, in the details tab, there is a Notes field.
I can easily tab INTO the
field, but once there the Tab key enters tab characters. How to leave
that field with the keyboard?

4) In Kalendar, I can't do anything with the keyboard! My most common
workflow is simply looking at the week view (7 days). I just need to
move back and forward a week. After the Tab leaves the Month||Year
back||forward buttons, I have no idea where the focus goes. Nothing on
the screen gives any indication, and the arrow keys do not do anything
for 7 tabs. Sometimes the up and down arrows move the day pane, and
sometimes the left and right arrows return the focus as tab would. But
not always.

5) In ToDo, how can I change the Sort column? That means, if the ToDo
list is currently sorted by date, how can I have it sort by Priority?
And back?

Thanks in advance. I appreciate the help.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
