I re-ordered it because the original wording just doesn't read very  
well, in English-- it suggests that gok helps you "type applications"  
and "navigate applications".  But obviously, "type applications"  
doesn't make sense.  T

he correct punctuation without re-ordering would be "Type, and  
navigate applications, using alternate input devices", but that also  
reads a bit clumsily for a tooltip.

However, I suggest you don't bother making this change for now.  I've  
cc'ed Willie Walker-- perhaps he can make this change in GOK upstream  
for us, and we'll just pick it up when it's done :)

Thanks,
Calum.
