Well, I'm building a chat forum for a site that I'm using for my final year project at Uni. It's a very good forum system I've designed and bult from scratch -similar to how this place works. So I thought I'd incorporate an interesting feature - using keyboard keys to jump forums - and it works very well. I haven't put it online yet, but I will do sometime soon.
Basically, I used a tiny Flash module to run javascript commands on a key down (the JS for this is huge and browser dependent). The JavaScript commands then have the required forum ids printed in them by PHP, and the flash keydown jumps you to a different page. Really cool system - you can use the WASD keys to jump up, down and across threads and forums, the Q key to go "home", the E to edit your details, the R to refresh the page, and the number keys to jump to a specific forum.

Sounds good. Let us know when the forum is finished!
Will you be using it for real or is it for the course only?
