First, the only concern I would have is to make sure the gray color of
the text is always in contrast to the background color or you will
confuse people who have worse color vision than myself :)
Yes, readability is essential.
Second - and this is a more general question, should the keyboard
focus always be where the attention of the user is? I would think
that would be required if Chandler is to be used without a mouse.
Often, but not always, your attention goes to the part of the screen
with the keyboard focus, e.g. the caret when you're typing.
However, the point of keyboard focus is to make it clear what is
affected by typing or menu commands.
