Re: Making it easier to use the keyboard to navigate Fx's pane icon bars(e.g. in prefs dialog)

I know that Jaws can be set to announce access key (shortcut key) 
information as you tab to a control. As long as the control is something 
that supports shortcut keys in a standard way, then I imagine jaws will 
announce it. The idea is that the first time the user sees this dialog, she 
may not know of the shortcut key, but after exploring the dialog she will 
learn of its existance and can use it going forward.

But how could users find out that that accesskey exists?

The only idea I can think of is to have a label with an underlined
letter above the pane icon bar.  Maybe if the user opened the prefs
dialog via the mouse, the label would be hidden until the first time
the user presses the Alt key.

Does anyone have an idea which is better?  And/or easier to implement?
