  Perhaps you should have.
  
  For example in my newsreader (tin), I can page through unread articles
with only <tab> and <space>. My hand rests on the keyboard and my
pointing finger rests on <tab> and my thumb on <space>. No hand movement
needed, just pressing the keys under my resting fingers.

  No need for <enter> or double-clicks. A "mouse"? What's *that*!? :-)
