Nemo: switch between sidebar and tab bar and file list using tabulator.

[HT-7]

The tabulator key should switch between these three areas of the user interface to improve keyboard-based navigation.

I have no idea how complicated this would be to implement, but it's a great idea.

Great idea, to add a toggle.
If you want to modify list and icon view with your own shortcuts, open:
~/.gnome2/accels/nemo

Search for: "iconview" and "listview".

Note

don't forget to backup the accels file "Nemo", before you modify anything in that file.
Also, you need to log out and log in again to see your changes applied.
