Quite correct.
Personally, my mouse driver *is* loaded but I very seldom use it.<g>
I prefer keyboard control.
Here is a list of hotkeys to replace the entire top line of the new
screen layout.
(top-left icons)
Cntrl+left_arrow, Cntrl+right_arrow, Alt+F5, R, Esc, A, H
(top_center URL block/icons)
G (places cursor into URL block), Backspace, F5, Alt+X
(top-right icons)
Alt+F7, F1, Insert, F2, M, F10, X
IMO, one of the best "hotkeys".... K
In addition, we can use the keyboard Arrow keys to move the mouse cursor
over any of the icons. The enter key is used instead of the left mouse
button and Shift+enter instead of the right mouse button.
Oh yes, that reminds me.

Answer:
We can use the arrow keys to place the cursor over the partial title.<g>
