Default navigating to form region using keyboard

Does anyone know if it is possible to set up accelerators (or similar)
so the user can navigate to an _adjoining_ form region.
If so, how?
Tabbing in the compose form quickly moves the cursor into the message
area, and remains there with further tabs.
For those users who prefer to use the keyboard over the mouse, this
would seem a bit restrictive.

About the only way would be to subclass a Windows message handler to the
Outlook windows and handle the key strokes directed to those windows looking
for your accelerator key using Win32 API functions. Then you can call the
Select() method of the form region. That's about it.
