Quite the opposite: the current "any accidental keypress goes into chat" is bad; removing that functionality bug ą ehm ą unfortunate design decision is good.
Quote: Bind shortcuts to any key
Yes, that. It is now possible to bind shortcuts to almost any key on your keyboard (with the exception of some reserved keys like ENTER, ESC, etc.). No longer will you be forced to include mod keys (CTRL, ALT and SHIFT) in your shortcuts (even though you still can of course).
This, however, is bad news. Pressing ENTER toą wellą enter chat mode is pretty much standard for a crapton of MMOs, and it also creates a good "UI rhythm": <enter> lol n00b <enter>
But from this and the previous paragraph, it sounds like we won't be able to map the "focus on chat" function to the ENTER key, where it actually belongsą ąor am I reading this wrong?
That said, I can see an immediate need for additional binding: the ability to quickly (as in, with one key) switch the focus between different chat windows, and being able to do so even after you've pressed the "focus chat" key (because it's not until then that you'll notice you're in the wrong window). Alternatively (or, preferably, additionally) you could solve this by adding (gasp!) good old slash-commands for the most common channels: /local for local, /corp for corp, etc.

I wish I could, but the current Mac build won't start.
Other than that, good news! It's about time we could actually make use of the keyboard.
Please this...
WTB: /reloadUI
/capnav
Personally, <enter> and the / key should enter chat. Spacebar is bad... Spacebar is for... accelerating or maybe zooming... jumping for the MAJORITY of other MMO's. I know CCP doesn't want to follow the route other MMO's do, but simple keyboard commonalities will help make this game easier to use.
Space = Jump through gate/Dock?
+/- keys = accelerate/decel
I'm so excited this change is being made. When I first started EVE, from other games... loooong list, I was very disappointed with the lack of keyboard usage and bind-ability.
