I'm doing some testing with screen readers. I depend on the accessibility features in the Alt+F1 pop up. Ctrl+M works as expected, but Ctrl+E and Ctrl+H both do exactly the same as Ctrl+F (Find). They open up the Find search field.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @oivron .
I have submitted a formal bug report to the Arduino IDE developers:
opened 07:11PM - 01 Nov 21 UTC
type: imperfection
topic: accessibility
## Describe the bug
The "**Show Accessibility Help**" command (<kbd>Alt</kbd>… +<kbd>F1</kbd>) provides a list of keyboard shortcuts for control of accessibility features, but not all these do what the help promises:
> To configure the editor to be optimized for usage with a Screen Reader press Control+E now.
**🐛 NOT WORKING**
<kbd>CtrlCmd</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd> is the default keyboard shortcut for the "arduino-for-find" command.
> Pressing Tab in the current editor will move focus to the next focusable element. Toggle this behavior by pressing Ctrl+M.
**🙂 WORKING**
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> is the default keyboard shortcut for the "Toggle Tab Key Moves Focus" command.
> Press Control+H now to open a browser window with more information related to editor accessibility.
**🐛 NOT WORKING**
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>H</kbd> is the default keyboard shortcut for the "Replace" command.
---
I didn't find commands providing the functionality mentioned for the non-working keyboard shortcuts.
## To Reproduce
1. Press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F1</kbd>
A pop up will appear that contains the following text:
> Line 1, Column 1 in a pane of a diff editor.
>
> - To configure the editor to be optimized for usage with a Screen Reader press Control+E now.
>
> - Pressing Tab in the current editor will move focus to the next focusable element. Toggle this behavior by pressing Ctrl+M.
>
> - Press Control+H now to open a browser window with more information related to editor accessibility.
>
> You can dismiss this tooltip and return to the editor by pressing Escape or Shift+Escape.
1. Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd>
🐛 The "Find" interface opens.
🐛 There is no sign that the IDE has been optimized for usage with a screen reader.
1. Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>H</kbd>
🐛 The "Replace" interface opens.
🐛 A browser window containing more information related to editor accessibility is not opened.
## Expected behavior
All functionality mentioned in the accessibility help to work as it claims.
