Love the idea of Alt+F6 and Alt+F7
 
First impressions and some problems/queries
 
Alt+F6
=> with *either* the Home Page, or the HTML pane on autohide, it will not cycle properly through the panels. First round seems to be okay, but then it starts skipping the properties pane - you can see it gets focus for an instant, but the the focus jumps to the Home Page.
 
=> As said elsewhere would be nice to have a colour indication when one of the grid areas has focus.
 
Alt+F7
=> this will cycle through the Properties, HTML, and Hompage panels, but does not allow access to the grids (all of which are shown though). If this by design, I would request including the grids.
I see that:
  1. Keeping Alt pressed, and pressing F7 repeatedly (as one would use Alt+Tab), it will cycle through the panels.
  2. Using the up-down arrow keys will cycle through everything
 
=> Also would be wonderful at some stage to make these customisable, or more accessible: on a full size keyboard, I need two hands to easily access left Alt *and* the F6 or F7 keys. [Right-Alt (AltGr) would be easier to use, but still a little awkward.]

This seems a little unintuitive. To my mind, it would be good if (1) worked as (2)
