If I do use them, it's for providing access to a small number of pages/site sections and I use numbers. Alas, the UK e-Government guidelines suggest the use of S for an accesskey. S is often used for jumping to a search input field or for skip navigation (the latter of which is suggested by the government guidelines). I don't use accesskeys in my day-to-day browsing, but I do use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. Alt+S in Firefox is one of them - I actually have to use the Greasemonkey extension to override sites using certain accesskeys! In a nutshell, I think the idea of accesskeys is a good one, but with current implementation they do more harm than good. Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
