Well, I'm not a programmer, so here's only my "user point of view" (and 
please bear in mind that I in no way intend to criticize your work, 
these are just my "2 cents").

Why would it be necessary ? I mean, ok, on the desktop version of any 
browser, that kind of shortcut is nice, to avoid moving the mouse all 
the way up or so. On a pocketpc, for that matter, screen size isn't 
really an issue : taping with the stylus in the adress bar is fair 
enough to me. That is for the adress thing. For other focus changes, 
it's ok to have it on a desktop version since one may either want to use 
the keyboard only, or the mouse only, or both. On my PDA, my only 
weapons as input devices would be my screen and my stylus... And I don't 
have to move them that much to have access to the whole screen (at least 
on a 3.5" one :)!). Then again, you're right that there may also be 
people using external keyboards, or HPCs, or other devices, etc...

Nevertheless, being able to do that would be nice, of course, and I'm 
really looking forward to being able to drivetest Minimo!

So, again, please don't think I'm criticizing your efforts, all the 
contrary: I'm only jealous because I can't program :)

Anyway, I hope someone will be able to give you a hint on what you're 
looking for.

Best regards,

Serge
