AW: making fallback access keys configurable

[Tobias Anton]

Well, you could also use the tab key to access the form elements. Anyway,
breaking existing usage patterns in future releases generally is a bad idea
imho. This is also the case if the usage pattern is made configurable and
disabled by default. I mean, a user certainly cannot be supposed to know
what new configuration options have been added.

How do you think I manage to read 1000 emails in kde-bugs-dist?

If it weren't for access keys, it would take twice as long... moving the 
mouse to click the HTML link, wheeling down to the comment area, typing 
comment, selecting the options, clicking Submit.

all I do now is hit Ctrl, H, wait for it to load, Ctrl, C, type comments, 
Ctrl, O and it's done.

This feature is really useful to be disabled by default with no GUI for 
turning it on, IMHO.

Agreed. Could this qualify for the string-unfreeze period?
