--- Comment #2 from David Chmelik <dchmelik at gmail.com> ---
Most systemsettings uses <ALT>a keystrokes to 'apply' (and certain letters for
other buttons 'cancel,' 'discard') which users get used to.
        A few other systemsettings menus: regional (date & time, input method,
spell-check,) hardware (all sub-menu 'apply' buttons) 'apply' use <ALT>p,
<ALT>l, <ALT>y, which confuses users and makes them usually press <ALT>a, then
nothing happens, then they must double-check and use unexpected keys.
        No other systemsettings buttons use a,p,l,y, so 'apply' should be
same/standardized/consistent throughout all its menus.
        The current format prevents users from ever learning an easy system a
button is same/standard/consistent, rather than be entirely
different/non-standard/inconsistent, leaving users permanently mixing-up &
confused.
        There may be other cases (haven't researched (in)consistency buttons
besides 'apply.')
