Is there any form of keyboard navigation already (bar tabbing between
input boxes)?  One site I visit I find I can't type the letter R
anywhere, and I decided NetSurf must be soaking it up due to it being
a keyboard shortcut within the HTML.

General rendering optimisations would be very good.  I get sluggish
scrolling on some sites, and although I think it is mostly down to
alpha blitting of images (which is far slower than it ought to be), it
can be a bit slow in other instances too.  For some reason typing
characters in an input box in one of these slow areas is painful -
maybe NetSurf is redrawing too much of the page?  I'm sure something
could be done in this area given enough time to analyse it.
