I think these are strong arguments against trying to attach this
functionality to the "D" key.
Typical screen readers provide a universal interface by which users
can jump from list item to list item and from heading to heading,
skipping intermediate content.
So in this case what's wrong with markup like:
<h1>Cars</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Ford Focus</h2>
<p>description goes here</p>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Ferrari</h2>
<p>description goes here</p>
</li>
... and so on ...
</ul>
which would allow users to use the interface they already know?
