I think I know just who to ask, but my gut reaction is that a
non-sighted user would feel just as frustrated the strictly sequential
nature of the interface as would as sighted user. I've watched people
jump between panels and tabs with JAWS all the time. In fact, I was
recently at a presentation where a sighted user had their mouse taken
away and the first task given them was to get to something at the
bottom of the screen.
Now, in all fairness, Menu Manager at least does support "^" jumps and
rubber band jumps, but I'm surprised how rarely I use these
capabilities. They do increase the cognitive load of the user a bit and
can caus problems because the user gets no feedback on whst is required
and what is not.
