<< - the numbers do not depend on the language (e.g.:H=Hepl in English, but in Italian is A=Aiuto, etc.) >> As I said in my first message, the statement above is not valid. Many far eastern languages use numbers for shortcuts on the menu due to the complexity of the language. A single keystroke does not map to a single character. I'm researching it currently, but I believe that ALT+1 is used as a shortcut in some far eastern languages for either the File or Help menus. -Charles -----Original Message----- From: w3c-wai-gl-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-gl-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Maurizio Vittoria Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 2:15 AM To: w3c-wai-gl@w3.org Subject: RE: Accesskey: there are "techniques"? I agree the application of the number in accesskey simply because: - the numbers are known to universal level - the numbers do not depend on the language (e.g.:H=Hepl in English, but in Italian is A=Aiuto, etc.) - the numbers do not interfere with eventual keys it fix to you from the system or the programs - the numbers are only 10, and this simplifies the application and the understanding of the accesskeys - from 0 to 9 it can be one hierarchical scale.
