Re: Accesskeys (was RE: Accessibility features)

Hello,

an approach to a web wide standard of using accesskeys:
http://2bweb.de/accesskey/ (in german)

In english: The way is to avoid letters because of the problems many
articels wrote about. Instead one could use numbers. So a suggestion
is:

Accesskey +  0: Homepage
Accesskey +  1: Help
Accesskey +  2: Next page
Accesskey +  3: Previous page
Accesskey +  4: Glossary
Accesskey +  5: (undefined)
Accesskey +  6: Sitemap
Accesskey +  7: Search page
Accesskey +  8: Overview for this page
Accesskey +  9: Contact

"Accesskey" can be the ALT key in IE etc.
