Kevin's right, there's still a good amount of work to do on keyboard nav. If you file a bug in Bugzilla, please prefix it with "KBNav:" or add that as a keyword, that way I can find it quickly.
The plan is to have focus go to something useful any time you switch views. For a compose-type view, that'll be the first input field. There are still some views that don't have focus mgmt. In the short term, I'm working on focus issues. Later, we'll give the user the ability to customize key bindings.
