Yes... I was thinking last night about this while walking home from dinner.
I was thinking in the context of limited-input mobile devices [GnuCash
running unaltered on a perhaps-souped-up-iPaq]... there should be no
requirement for a mouse, anywhere in GnuCash.

I've already recorded a problem I've seen in the Scheduled Transaction
Editor, where one cannot click or tab out of the register... but there is
also simply un-finished work in setting up the tabbing order and keyboard
accels on all the scheduled-transaction-related GUI stuff I've done so far
[it's only finished to the extent that Glade automagically does it].

If you feel like helping out, jumping in and adding appropriate accelerators
to the scheduled transaction stuff would be very much appreciated!
[ Don't worry about the "Since-last-run" dialog at the moment, however,
  as I think it's going to get shot in the back of the head, maybe even
  in a couple of hours. ]
