Hi again. I'm not entirely sure but i don't think the effect would be the same. For instance scrolling true the dock with arrow keys would not be possible (unless klp makes some mouse movement event) Its not for launching applications that i like objectdock so much its the visual way that i can pick and launch them. There's also way more to do with this than just for the htpc usage i suggested. For laptops for example ( i don't know anyone who does not hate its touchpad ).
+ It would be the only dock supporting keyboard. Coding this into some open source dock wouldn't take me so long but it wouldn' t be nearly as fancy and packed with features as objectdock and i do not think the world needs yet another dock
Now if only some more users see the adventages of keyboard support and would react here.
