I will research again if there is any new implemenation for the accelerator markers. Passing strings from C++ code is not a good ideia, two QML themes does not use the same strings. I could remove the accelerator markers in the QML code instead. I could try to implement accelerator mark support, too.

You always have to press the TAB key at least once for the other keys to work for navigation. The first TAB press only activates the navigation, you still need a second press to actually move focus to the next element.
