Description Andreas Bayer 2004-06-07 01:58:56 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I would like to jump to an window by typing his number on the numpad or [ALT] + number. And i would like if each app provide a list of most useful functions.These functions could be displayed as icons below the name entry in tasklist. So i have fast access to these functions. And if i type [ALT] + [number of app] + [number of function] or [number of app] + [number of function] on numpad i would have short access to the function without changing focus to this app.

What number?
Comment 2 Andreas Bayer 2004-06-28 04:14:39 UTC 
 What about:
- give every app a free number, when it starts.
- Some apps may have fixed numbers.
- Make sure that [number of app a][number of function a.n] != [number of app b][number of function b.m] for all a,b and n,m 
- if i start to type or i press "0" a little window pops up which shows all alternatives.
- If there are more then 9 alternatives, they are grouped, to hold the list short.

- if you implement a hole keyboard a similar way (google for one-hand-keyboard)
and a mousecontrol ( hit a button to activate a 3x3 raster, when choosing a field a new 3x3 raster in this field would be displayed. When the mouse cursor is at the right point, other buttons emulate left, middle or right click. ) 

So if such functions would be implemented you could control kde using only a numpad.
