Suggestion for 2.0




I have a suggestion that shouldn't be too difficult to add for 2.0.
I can see the merit in trying to emulate the MacOS as closely as 
possible, since you want to make a comfortable environment for those 
already familiar with the MacOS--  But how about going a little beyond 
that and adding some things that WONT appear different but add 
functionality---   For example:

*  Why not add simple key bindings so you can do simple tasks if your 
mouse breaks?  I've had trouble on real Macs before, where once the mouse 
is dead, your machine is as good as dead!  --How about something to 
scroll through the different widgets ("TAB" would be a good one)...  At 
least let me switch the highlighted buttons on dialogs.

*   (Perhaps this suggestion is ahead of its time, but perhaps for 
version 3.0????)   Virtual desktops!  When running multiple programs at 
the same time becomes possible, would it also be possible to have virtual 
desktops?  (ALA Fvwm)

 ---I know that your browser is starting to act a little more innovative 
that the MacOS browser, and I think that is wonderful!  (Maybe soon you 
can actually sell a clone OS that can be installed on the Macintoshes!)  
I especially like your plans to add drop in font management  <--now that 
I think of it, Its really stupid that Macintosh hasn't added this into 
their OS yet!

Keep up the wonderful work!  Anyone else have suggestions or comments on 
my suggestions?
