This got me thinking thinking for a post 2.0 feature. Alt-S Selects style
drop down box, naviagte it with up/down arrows, select with return.
We'd need to define a simple way to escape this if a user accidently
enabled the feature since it would basically steal the keyboard focus.
Maybe clicking anywhere witht eh mouse would put the focus back in abiword.

Write them in perl, python or C as a plugin. Sorry we don't record
keyboard strokers for replay.
It would be simple enough to do but we've just had too many other things
to do.
