Hi Pablo,
when using the standard windows keystrokes to navigate the ribbon in office 
2010 or later, you can use the keystrokes ctrl+left/right arrow to move between 
the groups of controls on the active tab - this can greatly reduce the number 
of tabs that have to be pressed.

The following guide to file explorer in windows 8.1 has a section on the 
ribbon. There are some minor differences between the ribbon in file explorer 
and office, but no major ones.

Using the virtual ribbon, there is a way to know  what are the keystrokes 
associated with each item in the ribbons? 

Use the ribbons helps a lot to understand the structure of the ribbons, with 
the virtual ribbon off, is time consuming and is very easy to get lost 
navigating with the tab key only. But with the virtual ribbons on,  the 
keystrokes doesn't work, and sometimes I don't know what is worse, if the 
virtual ribbons on or off. But if I need to get to a place in the ribbon, I 
have no way to learn the keystrokes, only deactivating the virtual ribbons 
and pressing tab many many times, and probably getting lost. 

So I see both ways very inconvenient. 

Is there a way to get the keystrokes and at the same time keeping the logic 
structure of the ribbons,? 

I am trying to teach people to use MS word, and excel, but the ribbons is 
very hard to make them understand the structure of each ribbons, but the 
ribbon as unique tool using these programs is not going to be so efficient 
in the future either. 



So there is a way to get the keystrokes when we are navigating through the 
virtual ribbons, and like this once we know where and what is the structure 
of the ribbons, just use the keystrokes associated with each item on the 
ribbons? 

Thanks
