How often do you hit the wrong key?  I never do, because I actually look
at the menu.

Intuitive, really?  What is the intuitive connection between "K" and
"move up"?

Force you to pay attention, horrors!

I think the basic difference between us is that I prefer to think while
interacting with the computer, and that includes the window manager.
That sure makes me slower, but I also probably need to correct what I
have done less often.

Different approaches.  Please feel free to try to get yours supported,
but not at the expense of mine.  Especially when mine is the one
traditionally supported by openbox.
