This is not a complete list of all shortcuts used in Draw/Impress. This proposal lists only shortcuts, which have to be changed or added to fulfill accessibility criteria.
If the cursor position is within text in your document, do the following:
1. Press F10 to move the focus to the menu bar.
2. Press Ctrl+Tab until the Drawing toolbar is the focus.
3. Press the Right Arrow key to choose Select Objects.
4. Press Ctrl+Enter to select the first drawing object.
4 b. Or Press Enter to Return Focus to Document
5. Press the Tab key to cycle forward (or Shift+Tab to cycle backward) through the objects until handles appear on the object you want selected.
To allow users to create drawing objects on their own, Draw and Impress create a default object when a drawing tool is selected and Ctrl + Return is pressed. After creation this object has the focus in the document.
This default object has the dimension of 5 * 5 cm / 2 * 2 inches.
