All the CHM files I have tried on a Windows PC can use "goto next/previous TOC section" (actions I have bound to the right and left arrow keys) to navigate between sections without a pointing device. However, this approach does not work for Plucker files - which don't have a TOC and hence need to navigate via internal links.
I am not a C++ programmer, but I don't think it would be hard to add a "link navigation via the keyboard" option to FBReader. This is probably actually easier than allowing the TOC to be navigable via the keyboard (although this is also possible, probably by using a different TOC interface).
It isn't an available option with the Desktop version, but the Nokia IT version has a main menu bound to the "menu" key and this menu is navigable using the Nokia's D-pad. It isn't treated as a standard "action" (i.e. it can't be bound to a different key), but it provides one way that FBReader could be made to work better on a pointer-free device with few keys.
