Especially in email clients, people have reported repeatedly, mistakenly using the arrow keys to navigate in the summary table view after switching folders, only to find that the keyboard focus shifted to the sidebar when they clicked to change views...
This drives me nuts in Thunderbird when the keyboard focus sometimes gets stuck in the folder view and I think I'm navigating the messages in the summary view. Good thing it asks whether I really want to delete my Inbox when I press the delete key. :-) So for me it's a good thing that the sidebar doesn't get the focus on clicking. If it has to be navigable by keyboard as well as mouse, how about having a keyboard shortcut that would rotate the focus between different panes?
