In the MIDI input options, you can map incoming MIDI from your keyboard to a particular channel. I do this all the time, so that I can leave my keyboard on channel 1, but record it on whatever channel I want to use for a particular track.
I'm not sure how it shows up using a screen reader, but I get to that option by right-clicking on the record-arm button, then selecting "Input: MIDI", and at the bottom of that menu is a sub-menu for "Map input to channel". You can choose to map the incoming MIDI to any channel.
EDIT: There are actions to do this channel mapping. It might be easier for you to call the desired mapping action directly, rather than selecting them through the record-arm menu as I suggested above. The actions are named "Map selected tracks MIDI input to channel X", where X is the MIDI channel. There is also an action to undo any mapping, called "Map selected tracks MIDI input to source channel". I use these actions so frequently, that I set up a toolbar with just those 17 actions, so that I can quickly change the input channel for any MIDI track. You might find that useful, or perhaps find it useful to assign shortcut keys to these actions.
