Step by step

   Tap ⌥ on its own to show the key tips, then R for Review, K for Show Comments.

What Alt R K does

Show Comments sits on the Review tab of the Word ribbon. On Windows, Alt R K runs it from the keyboard. Word for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Review › Show Comments instead.
