In Windows, KDE & GNOME desktop environments it's very quick and easy to access a menu item using alt+arrows+letter and users of assistive software are probably already familiar with this type of interaction with menus in every other app (I doubt blind people use mouse). If the option is available in my browser I'd disable the assignment of keyboard shortcuts defined in the document and just use the menu built from those shortcut definitions. I already have too many mixed up shortcuts from various Firefox extensions. -- :: thyme online ltd :: po box cb13650 nassau the bahamas :: website: http://www.thymeonline.com/ :: tel: 242 327-1864 fax: 242 377 1038
