You can open and navigate the folders in extras (press and hold the
option button for list of keyboard shortcuts- try apple/shift/t while
extras is open), and select applications and launch them from the
keyboard. On the 2x00 Newts you can use arrow keys to scroll the
button bar. You cannot navigate certain dialog boxes used for
printing, dock connections or folder creation.
I believe that i++ adds the ability to expand the features of the i
(information) button such as creating a launcher but still requires
screen tapping.
