Hello there, 

  Please take a closer look how Forte Agent works. The most important feature is tabbed view /Pan does have it also/. It is so great because the navigation is so much simpler -- when I am reading headers /post topics/ and I want to get to next item I am never confused whether I press shortcut for next line of body, next group or next article. It is always next item. So one key /i.e. arrow down/ is for next group, next article or thread /depending whether the thread is collapsed/ and for next line.
  Pan has it but in some way messed up. While Forte Agent uses also one shortcut for one level down and another up /groups->articles->bodies and reverse/ -- down: enter; up: escape, Pan uses three different shortcuts to turn each of the levels.

  So, please mimic Forte Agent, as soon as you can /I am so used to FA that I can't use KNode for now -- too much magic: autoexpanding threads, strange watch threads, akward navigation through keyboard, too much for me; but Wine helps :-)/.

have a nice day, bye!

PS. Of course FA has also a lot of nice details which make life easier -- like glasses for watched threads at the left margin, not inside article topic! Composing new post is _inside_ FA, not in another window /you can give an option for that feature/.
