Title:
  Keyboard shortcuts in lightdm

Bug description:
  This is a feature request, but I am filing it as a "bug" because the
  rest of the Ubuntu system is more or less accessible through keyb
  shortcuts, but lightdm is not.

  The feature request is that different menus and functions of lightdm
  should be accessible by keyboard shortcuts.    The mouse pointer
  should not be the only way to access the shutdown menu in lightdm, for
  instance.

  I would like to be able to configure a keyboard shortcut to bring up
  the shutdown menu, and then navigate in it with the keyboard cursor
  keys.

  Doing some simple things (like accessing menus) with the keyboard can
  be far faster than using the mouse, so I think the option to have full
  keyboard access would be a very nice feature to have.

  Thanks,
