Not a problem for me, I get into menu bars via Alt+F, if I want Sigil's Checkpoint menu I double tap left arrow, if I want its Format menu I triple tap right arrow.
As I explored possibilities for the OP's request I happened to notice the missing accelerators … and thought I'd mention it.

It pre-dates Windows, and its a 'thing' on some (most ?) Linux UI desktop kits. It originates from
IBM's Common User Access 'standards' developed during the late 1970's and early 1980s.

- but not only from Gen XYZers.
I've had late-boomer and millennial IT pro's react similarly… particularly to sequences like Winkey+T, Winkey+I, Winkey+Tab etc.

I asked myself, why Preview, you can't do much in it with the keyboard? Then it hit me… to browse the text with PgUp/Down etc.
