well, it seems as if this thing is actually going to ship. there's a $200
discount still on indiegogo, but i don't know for how long. here it is at
CES:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLawxkYyug&feature=youtu.be
it'll ship with debian stretch and xfce, which i plan to replace with tde.
the only "pointing device" it has is the touch screen, which means that
i'll need to maximize the amount of stuff i can do with the keyboard. i
vaguely remember, but never have used, a kde accessibility package that
effectively used the arrow keys to replace the mouse. and because of the
screen size, i especially want kicker to disappear when it's not in actual
use, i'd like to be able to show/hide it with a key combination or some
such.
anybody know if this is something i could assign in the current TDE? or
that maybe already exists?
thanks!

Not KDE, but maybe keynav ( http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/keynav )
would work? Or xwarppointer ( http://ishiboo.com/~danny/Projects/xwarppointer/ )
plus glue code?

There are auto-hiding options in the panel configuration. Then you'd
just need to create a hotkey binding to send the pointer to a specific
screen location to show it again.

Right. Alt-F1 will raise Kicker and Kmenu, which is fine. But navigating
Kicker with the keyboard isn't anyplace I can find, and I'm sure I've seen
in TDE configuration *someplace* the option to use the keyboard in lieu of
mouse. It's not been something I've ever needed before, but now it
actually is useful and now I can't find it! (Nor, truth be told, do I have
the faintest idea how it works.)

That would be
Peripherals -> Mouse, Tab = Mouse Navigation
but it just allows use of the numeric keypad as a set of cursor keys, so
they'd have to be mapped to some sort of gestures. Maybe that could be done
with
Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions, Tab = Gestures Settings
or (heh) Tab = Voices Settings? (I"m using KDE3, not Trinity; don't remember
if Trinity has that.)

Control Panel -> Mouse ->
last tab has an option to control mouse pointer with numpad.
