Access Keys / Tab Order

CKEditor uses hot keys to give keyboard access to the CKEditor toolbars (Alt+F10), and for editing features like bolding text (Ctrl+B), etc. Obviously, there is no standard for a hot key to give access to the toolbar (the Alt+F10 combo). Unfortunately there is no way for the user to discover the Alt+F10 key combination required for accessing the toolbars, or the other available keyboard shortcuts as they are not advertised.

The '?' icon found on the bottom right of the CKEditor toolbar brings up an About CKEditor dialog instead of providing efficient access to any CKEditor User Help information. The user would have to browse around in the CKEditor web site a good bit before they can find any helpful information.

The pages which rely on rich text editor functionality should contain a link to an accessible page which contains help text, documentation and keyboard shortcuts for people who are using the WYSIWYG editor without a mouse, using a screen reader, etc.
