    All the functions (well, most anyway) can be accessed through the
keyboard.  In fact, you don't even need to have a file dialog on the
screen to use Kangaroo.

    Where do you propose we should place all these icons?  I personally
think it is more elegant having it all in a single, unobtrusive icon
rather than seeing an array of them.

    Getting your Application Groups and judiciously locking frequently
accessed files and folders into the lists helps a great deal.  BTW, I
still use SuperDataPath as a "master list" of folders since Kangaroo
only automatically adds those which you actually access.
