This is closed, and _mostly_ worksforme because inadvertent hovering is no
longer such a problem. However, I would like to clarify:

> ..."highlighted by mouse hovering" event does not steal keyboard focus, so 
> yes, it is possible (but how would it help our problem?)
Ok, "steal keyboard focus" overstates the case, it only steals enterkey
behavior. Standard behavior in a combo textbox/listbox is that typing in the
textbox and selection with arrow keys are committed by Enter or Tab, and mouse
selection is committed by Left-Click. Distinguishing "highlighted by mouse
hovering" as a recognizable state would help by enabling the program to avoid
the error of misinterpreting Enter as a mouse action.

One could say that, but it would not be true. In the several years I used
Wikipedia prior to the Usability Initiative rollout there have always been
_two_ buttons: "I'm feeling lucky" (Go) and "Show list of search results"
(Search), and this is still the case for projects that continue to use the
Monobook skin by default.
