No. It's a usability bug. Accidentally pressing the wrong key (eg pressing F7 when F6 \
was intended) puts Konqueror into a strange mode with absolutely no indication of how \
to make it work normally again.

Mozilla opens a dialogue which reads "Pressing F7 turns Caret Browsing on or off. \
This feature places a moveable cursor in web pages allowing you to select text with \
the keyboard. Do you want to turn Caret Browsing on? [] Do not show me this dialog \
again.  (Yes)  (Cancel)"

Mozilla's approach isn't exactly a stellar example of usability, but it's better than \
Konqueror's approach which essentially forces the user to abandon what he/she is \
working on and start again. _______________________________________________
