There is no sound reason why accesskey cannot take a list of space-sperated strings instead of single characters. Which leaves the way open to defining a grammar for gestures (not a hard task, since most platforms say the same things), and incidentally allowing the use of a word that can be distinguished from other activation commands with a speech recognition system. All while providing all the machinery required to let users decide how to deal with conflicts - and even to let apps do a simple "negotiation" process. cheers -- Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com
