You are correct. We do have many keyboard shortcuts, but saying "first" is ignoring early browsers like Lynx. I think that they were trying to say that for IE being a GUI based client, we really put an emphasis on allowing full access for keyboard users. I sent some mail to the marketing people to fix the page.
