The Office guidelines state that "Keytips should appear after a 500ms delay when the Alt key is held down, but keyboard focus should not move to the ribbon and no tab should be selected until the Alt key is released.  Usability research has shown that users who are accustomed to using keyboard shortcuts with previous versions of Office will often hold down the Alt key while looking at the ribbon for additional visual information to guide their next keystroke."
 
The ribbon sample behavior seems to me to indicate a simple on-key-up implementation.  Is that right?  Is there any support for a timer-based approach?
 
Thanks,
