Sailesh,
While I agree that's a solution, I'm unsure if a general keyboard only user would aware of this. In fact why would they even think of a screen reader? Since we are all in the accessibility industry, we could think of cross disability and aware of AT features across.

Also, I'm not sure if screen reader vendors ever document with keywords of other disabilities.

Further, all they would need is a quick navigation feature and why would they need to install a screen reader that require investment of more space.

Can we think of a plugin that could just turn on quick navigation feature by pressing an access key?

Am I missing something?
