One promising area of exploration is Godot 3.2's ability to disable editor features. Audio-only games might get away with disabling 3-D and other views, thus at least minimizing tab fatigue. But that feature crashed when I last attempted it (3.2 alphas) and I haven't tried again. One promising area of exploration is Godot 3.2's ability to disable editor features.

You can also arrow around the UI, though arrow navigation isn't quite as deterministic as tab/shift-tab navigation.

6. When in the tree, you'll need to access controls for the individual items. Godot is a bit odd in how it associates controls with tree items. Sometimes they're context menus. Others, as here, they're a horizontal row of buttons in one of the tree row cells. To access these, select an action, arrow right twice, and use Home/End to switch between individual buttons on each row. There should be an _Add_ button of some sort. Select it and press _Space_ or _enter_. 6. When in the tree, you'll need to access controls for the individual items. Godot is a bit odd in how it associates controls with tree items.

8. If you select the option to add a key to an action, focus lands in a dialog. You won't get any speech for this. I think you're supposed to do this by pressing the desired key, then clicking a Close button. Naturally, for us this would bind everything to _Space_ or _enter_. Instead, the addon closes the dialog automatically after five seconds, so press your desired key or combination and wait. Pressing a second key or combination clears the first, so if you make a mistake, just press the correct key combination. You won't get speech feedback until the dialog closes. 8.
