I could actually see how it could be possible, you'd just have to be able to find the tab, 1 an 2 keys really really fast at the minimum. The rest of the time, in theory if you're good enough at the game just keep your fingers on the arrow keys, thumb on the space bar. Although that'd make using a shield slightly awkward.
