New description:

 1. in chat window, users could not use <Tab> to access the tool bar , like
 Bold, Italic,Font face, smiley...

  Also this function is not list in the menu. So user without mouse can not
 use these functions.

 2. in a jabber chat, users could not use 'Tab' to focus on the list of
 people, even you use mouse to click on one person in the list, you still
 can not press <down> or <up> button the navigate the list.

 This table is unaccessible, user can not start private conversation just
 by keyboard navigation.

Comment:

 Pressing F6 will switch focus between the input widget, conversation log
 and the userlist (for multi-user chats). The toolbar items are mnemonic-
 ed, so those are accessible using keyboard as well (I suppose that
 wouldn't work if you have ungrouped the items in the toolbar).

 Also, you should be able to navigate the userlist and start a private
 conversation with someone in a chatroom from the userlist using the
 keyboard only.

 Does that address your issues?
