Hehe :) To be honest it might have been other apps that made me draw this conclusion but I am not always sure when it is GNOME that is in control of the keyboard bindings and when it is some other sub system. >From now on I will try to look more carefully. > Please file bugs (with the keynav keyword) about any inconsistencies > or holes you find in GNOME's keyboard navigability.
