Interesting that Arve Bersvendsen in his "Top 5 things I want in
Opera"  
mentions keyboard functionality under his wish "Get rid of UI
funkiness"

Wow.  Web apps are obscure (I'm thinking Hotmail and Gmail are in this

Hehe, Arve works for Opera, and is not exactly a noob :) He's involved in  
making web applications, so while he is an Opera power user he also has an  
eye for making web apps usable, were Opea shortcuts somtimes get in the  
way.

LOL then. That's even worse. How could one [developer] pretend to 
disable/deactivate the app shortcuts just so they will work in some 
obscure web app (which I will probably never use, as I currently find 
them annoying, out of place in common browsing, with performance issues
