in my experience even people in the accessibility field that are keyboard
only users do not use these addons for any thing other then testing. if
your a keyboard only user that does not use a screenreader the tab key
arrow keys and space and enter most non industry keyboard only users even
know these things exist and the addons and extensions don't add any
thing but vishual help not keyboard help
