I think you misunderstood me, Ricardo and the original blogpost as well. It is 
about usability and better accesibility of table functions for the users, not 
for the developer.  As it can be seen on the example in Martin's blog (and it 
is not the one and only  feedback of this kind), users might get confused 
with the fact that table actions (performed on the table items) are accesible 
only as push buttons below the table.

What users are used to from other GUI applications and what they miss in YaST 
UI  is:
a) context menu activated by right click on table item (e.g. edit/delete this 
item)
b) more function key bindings (e.g. 'Delete' key will do the same what would 
pushing delete button do) - we already have bunch of those in ncurses, 
unfortunately they're not usable in GUIs
