Troy,
I'm glad to see that you are applying yourself to the complex issues accessibility. The hotkeys you describe can be very useful in certain situations and are a key part of this spec: https:/
You are of course right that the is no such thing as as "universal access" and there never can be. However it is still that myth we must stretch toward and always measure ourselves against because it is the only right thing to do. If we don't aim to constantly improve inclusion and access we will gradually slip into the dark ages. Who exactly is your "target audience" and why do they not include the visually impaired? There are a great deal many more visually impaired people in the world than there are desktop Linux users.
That said, I don't think this bug report is the right place to debate ubuntu's overall design philosophy or who our target audience should be. So I will stop here. Troy, if you want to want to start a wiki page or a mailing list thread where you make a case for why we should focus our efforts only on users with good vision I will be happy to debate it further with you there.
