Bug Description

The 'Find', 'Show Previous Results', 'Show More Results' and 'Search Terms' do not have shortcut keys like '_Find' (Alt-F), 'Show _previous Results' (Alt-P), 'Show _More Results' (Alt-M), 'Search terms' (Alt-S) etc...
I just discovered Ctrl-L would bring your cursor back to the 'Search term' box, instead of maybe (Alt-S).

It is much annoying to have to use the mouse to navigate through beagle.

Thank you.

I just looked at the source code, and there are key binded, such as page-up and down, ctrl-w and so on.
This didn't come to mind, as tehy are no visual clues for these.

Recommendation:
Maybe adding a tooltip over each of these buttons to specify the shortcut key would be a nice idea.

These UI recommendations don't apply to the new beagle UI. The new UI is much more keyboard friendly.

If you have any problems with the new UI please file a bug on it.
