Description Jesse Glick 2005-08-25 16:44:39 UTC 
Alt-G, Alt-E, Alt-F, Alt-K, and Alt-A do not work to switch categories in the
Options dialog, even though mnemonics for other individual elements do seem to work.

Also with Fonts & Colors | Highlighting selected, Alt-E just focuses "Effects".

And there is no mnemonic to switch tabs in the Fonts & Colors or Editor panels.
Hard to use from the KB.

Some other mnemonics are missing in obvious places, e.g. Category list has none.

This qualifies at least as a P2 according to:

Since there were other changes related to the accessibility of Options I am goning to set this issue as closed because
it cannot be valid anymore.
