--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
LibreOffice does not implement the Windows Ribbon API to create its MUFFIN
Notebookbar (NB) "Tabbed" UI.

Accessibility and keyboard navigation is already well addressed with consistent
keyboard controls. That is keyboard movement onto the NB's UI elements is via
an normalized <F6> focus event onto the NB, the active "Tab" will highlight.
While using <Ctrl>+<Tab> or <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<Tab> (or the cursor keys) keyboard
actions to advance between NB tabs.  

Once focused into a NB assemblage of controls, keyboard movement is only by
<Tab> or <Shift>+<Tab> to move between controls.

Use <F6>/<Shift>+<F6> will advance focus between UI elements. And when Main
menu is exposed (it is hidden by default, but exposure button is provided in
each NB assemblage) an <F10> will focus onto main menu. With <F6> available to
move between UI regions.

The <Alt> key then will expose the mnemonic accelerators of the menu controls
and functions in those keyboard sequences.

As should be obvious, in that context the <Alt> key is already allocated and is
not available to further overload for movement onto the NB Tabbed
assemblages--just for the Windows builds. The LibreOffice Notebookbar is not
the MS Ribbon API.

IMHO => WF
