It does, but I don't think that it's as simple as pressing CTRL + S. 
When I started the installation from a VM, I had to select a language
first, and then press F5 for accessibility options.  This gives you a
list that you select from with the arrow keys.  I've attached a
screenshot of the list. (Obviously if you're visually impaired I
understand that this doesn't help, but if you're not I thought I should
be as complete as possible.) 
    Good luck, and keep us posted if you try the install and learn
more.  I would like to add info about this to our wiki pages.
    Someone else should also test this in case I'm missing something. :)
