Well, I can: me! :-) Moreover, having more then one way to do stuff is
always good. Plus, Your suggested solution is not neccessarily the
only one.

No, I'm *not* talking about screen-readers! I simply can't use a
(hardware) mouse and mostly use keyboard shortcuts. I'm not alone,
there are many motorically impaired people who are in the same
situation. Plus, keyboard shortcuts are always a good thing to have (I
love GMAIL for that!) and in Horde/imp, keyboard support is only
rudamentary implempented.

Oh, I'm sure, you could. You don't feel like it.
