I'm thinking of Garage band and how often you interact and stop interacting over and over again. There are some key strokes but it's still such a time sink.
I don't know how it could be done away with fully but better use of interaction by software would certainly make life easier. Have it be more universal across apps both native and third party. Making vo j work in most if not all multi interaction situations. Some times now it's vo j, other times, vo command shift t to switch between tables and other times like in the Sendspace wizard, you have 3 or more levels of interaction and have to move up 2 levels, vo right and then interact in another chain of levels. Arg. I love the mac but this is 1 of those things that makes the experience far sloppier and less consistent and is a major stumbling block on many coming to love using the OS despite its many advantages over windows.
