Martin, While it is true that using numeric keys introduces *minimal* issues, some access problems do remain, especially with #'s 5, 8 and 9: Please see the chart at http://www.wats.ca/resources/accesskeysandkeystrokes/38 Remember too that WindowEyes is configured to allow the end user to pre-map the numeric keys (on Windows platform Alt+1 through 0) for "User-defined windows". A better solution (if you continue to believe that you *really* need accesskeys) would be to investigate one of the new crop of scripts that are surfacing, that allow the end user to specify *their* preference.
