I have come across this keystroke on websites that I believe reflect consultations from a certain Web accessibility company. I know one website for sure that hired this consultant and uses this keystroke. It comes with a verbalization along the lines that to open such-and-such, press... It helps me appreciate the care VFO and its predecessors have made to assign sensible key combinations for JAWS commands. I'm concerned that Web accessibility consultants are increasingly missing the forest for the trees. Another website that relied on an accessibility consultant has so many headings per page that their usefulness is negated.
