The document menu is hardly accessible by keyboard

Description
kparal: what is the keyboard shortcut in evince to reach the document menu (where I can rotate the document, for example)? F10 opens up the other menu
kparal: it seems inaccessible from the keyboard
mclasen: kparal: it is a little tricky, you can rotate using Ctrl-left it seems
mclasen: to reach the menu by keynav, you have to get the focus to the toolbar, use Ctrl-Tab twice to get through the entries ,and then right arrow
kparal: mclasen: hmm, that's quite tricky indeed. I tried to use Tab, but that didn't work. Ctrl+Tab works.
mclasen: kparal: it might be worth filing a bug against evince - those entries don't really need to accept tab as input
The problem is not just in Tab vs Ctrl+Tab, the problem is that that button is hardly accessible by keyboard in general. There is a global menu accessible by Super+F10. There is an app menu that is accessible by F10 (that's in line with all the menu bars of the past). But the "document menu" (or whatever you want to call it) has no visible (or obvious) shortcut at all.
One possible solution is to allow to use left and right arrows to cycle between app and document menus. Another solution is to put text into that button (instead of just an icon), so that mnemonics keys can be used.
