I don't know if it can fully replace the virtual keyboardUIMode() because this virtual returns a enum with 3 possible values, replacing it by the value stored on WC::Settings would mean remove the KeyboardAccessFull option from keyboardUIMode().

The tab preference is stored per webkit port on ChromeClient implementations, as WK2 have their own and unique ChromeClient implementation, ugly hacks like the ones used on other ports to check if the tab preference is on or off isn't possible, e.g. some ports just put a #ifdef and get the tab preference value directly from a DRT support class.

KeyboardAccessFull seems to be used only on Mac ports, unfortunately my Objective-C skill didn't help me too much to understand why it exists.
