Dear All, I have just caught up with this thread, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. I believe that any AccessKeys that are used should be made explicit for any one viewing the website, that way there can be no confusion whatsoever. IE will allow the use of all numbers for access, but letters are a problem for reasons already highlighted... Hope this helps.

They can't rely on on a consistent combination being the home-page key for instance from site to site, eg Alt-0, like they know that Ctrl-P is the print key with in _any_ Windows application. IMHO it will only work, and be widely adopted and utilised, when we can get some sort of standard for what a (minimum) set of AccessKeys correspond with.
