Description Stéphane Magnenat 2008-01-17 22:40:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Systemsettings, at least with the KDE 3 kubuntu specific version, has bad accessibility because keyboard navigation is difficult (I think it is the same with the version shipped along KDE 4). It is possible to navigate between tabs, but there is no indication of focus inside the tabs. It is very inconvenient to work with when, like me, one has forgotten his mouse today. KDE has an excellent record of being fully controllable and easy to use by keyboard only, I'm a bit worried that new visually fancy widget do not give enough attention to this element, which might be critical in some situations.

Thank you, have a nice day,

I can confirm this, it is impossible to navigate with the keyboard through the items.
