SUMMARY
Currently, Discover seems to randomize the keys used for keyboard navigation every time the application is run, at least partially.
However, keyboard navigation on Discover using Alt also allows to use characters with diacritics that can only be inserted using dead keys (not sure if that's the correct name). It shouldn't, as it's impossible to type them in certain keyboard layouts. For instance, in Brazilian Portuguese, the characters õ, ê, ó, í and á, which require either one dead key press before the character or Shift+dead key+character, are impossible to do when added to Alt. Some examples of localized words with these issues can be seen on the attachment.

another thing, actions that are important to have a particular shortcut, should use the & to indicate the one with shortcut
