I've seen SONY make modular implementations of the same idea quite a while ago. It kind of reminds me of Douglas Engelbarts "Mother of All Demos", where he had an extra keyboard with five large keys on his left, which would provide some sort of function-key input, that could handle combinations, and I think was relative to the current content. This would probably live large, if Microsoft had combined it with it's new approach to Results-based user interfaces in Office 12, but you'd need way more than three keys for that.
.. deploying a web application with anything more than a floated sidebar becomes a pain because of all the inconsistencies between browsers.
Just let it die and concentrate on those that are worth contributing to (camino/safari).
