/** KKbdAccessExtensions is an object that improves accessibility for motor impaired users
*   who may not be able to easily use a mouse.  It adds two new capabilities using the keyboard:
*
*     - Resizing and positioning of panel widgets derived from TQSplitter and TQDockWindow.
*     - Setting focus to any widget that accepts focus.
*
*   @section sizing_mode Sizing Mode
*
*   Users may press F8 or Shift-F8 (defaults) to enter sizing mode.  A sizing icon appears on the first
*   TQSplitter or TQDockWindow handle found in the application (F8) or the last such handle (Shift+F8).
*   (A "handle" is the divider bar that appears to the left, right, above, or below each panel
*   of a TQSplitter or TQDockArea.)
*
*   Once in sizing mode, the following functions are available via the keyboard:
*
*     - F8          Moves to the next sizing handle.  After the last handle, exits sizing mode.
*     - Shift+F8    Moves to the previous sizing handle.  After the first handle, exits sizing mode.
*     - Esc         Exits sizing mode.
*     - LeftArrow   When on a vertical sizing handle, moves the handle to the left.
*                   When on a horizontal sizing handle, moves the handle up.
*     - RightArrow  When on a vertical sizing handle, moves the handle to the right.
*                   When on a horizontal sizing handle, moves the handle down.
*     - UpArrow     When on a vertical sizing handle, moves the handle to the left.
*                   When on a horizontal sizing handle, moves the handle up.
*     - DownArrow   When on a vertical sizing handle, moves the handle to the right.
*                   When on a horizontal sizing handle, moves the handle down.
*     - PgUp        Like LeftArrow or UpArrow, but moves the handle 5X farther to the left or up.
*     - PgDn        Like RightArrow or DownArrow, but moves the handle 5X farther to the right or down.
*     - Enter       (On numeric keypad).  When on the handle of a TQDockWindow, undocks or docks
*                   the widget.  Ignored when on the handle of a TQSplitter.
*
*   The default step size for each arrow key press is 10 pixels.
*
*   When a TQDockWindow is undocked, the sizing icon appears in the center of the window.
*   The arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn move the undocked window on the screen.  Shifted arrow keys
*   and PgUp/PgDn decrease/increase the size of the undocked window.
*
*   When the sizing icon is on a sizing handle, the mouse may also be used to move the handle
*   without having to click and drag.  When moving the mouse while sizing icon is on an undocked
*   TQDockWindow, the window moves with the mouse.  Holding Shift down while moving the mouse
*   sizes the TQDockWindow.
*
*   @note Users can also move and size undocked windows using the Window Operations Menu (Alt+F3).
*
*   Clicking any mouse button exits sizing mode.
*
*   When entering sizing mode, the position of the mouse cursor is saved and restored when
*   exiting sizing mode.
*
*   For a TQSplitter or TQDockWindow to be found, it must be in the kapp::allWidgets() list.
*
*   @section focus_setting Focus Setting
*
*   Users can press Alt-F8.  A small box appears in the upperleft corner of each visible widget
*   on the screen that can accept focus.  Each box is assigned a single letter or digit.
*   User can press the corresponding key to set focus to the widget.
*
*   At most 36 such shortcuts are possible.  If any application shortcuts are single letters
*   or digits, those shortcuts are not in any of the boxes.
*
*   Clicking any mouse button exits Focus Setting mode.
*
*   @section notes Notes
*
*   The F8, Shift+F8, and Alt+F8 keys are KShortcuts and therefore user may choose different keys in
*   the application's Configure Shortcuts dialog.
*
*   @note At present, these shortcuts may not be multi-key.  If user sets multi-key
*   shortcuts, they will not work.
*
*   F8/Shift+F8 are the default shortcuts because these are the keys used for similar
*   functionality in GNOME and Java SWT.
