Re: Common hardware keys (embedded devices) ... and GTK

Just complementing my answer, it's convenient to PDA users to do
everything using stylus ... but to cel phone users still isn't. Usually,
celphone users prefer to use buttons (shortkeys) or has no input device
like stylus available. So changing focus through button can be useful in
some cases ...

But thanks anyway ...
