Comment 5 for bug 478391

Something to think about: when you right click an entry on the window list applet on gnome or even on other platforms, you can press "C" to close the window or window group. That's what I do all the time and it makes the operation much faster. Though I use the touch pad most of the time, even if I was on a mouse, my left hand would still be holding "C". Like Docky, you need a mouse to initiate interactions with the window list applet. If I'm used to this kind of operation, I will be slowed down a bit when I choose to switch from the window list applet to Docky.

What I liked about GNOME Do is that it allowed me to do more things with the keyboard in an efficient way. This isn't about the bug anymore, but this is a related feature request. If there is a way to interact with Docky entries without using the mouse, Docky would be more feature-rich and that would allow us all to do things faster. On Konqueror, if you press "Alt," you will get a shortcut key for each link in the webpage. Though I'm not sure that it's the best idea for a webpage (because some webpages just have too many links among other issues), it would be a helpful feature for Docky when executed well. For example, if you press "win+alt+F", Firefox's right click menu will be activated on Docky then you can just click its mnemonic. That's going to make window management a lot faster.
