Keyboard controls can cause problems for keyboard users. Access keys on Internet Explorer use alt as the modifier, and for many keyboard users almost all of the Alt + single key settings are already bound. On other browsers, such as Firefox for Windows, access keys are modifiers, which can make them much more difficult to use for people with limited hand mobility. (And the JavaScript keyboard controls that modern sites have started to use can be hugely problematic if the site designers aren't cognizant of the kind of keystrokes site users are likely to be using for general browser control.) -Deborah -- Deborah Kaplan Accessibility Team Co-Lead Dreamwidth Studios LLC
