Accesskey won't be supported in the next release 4.0 but
it's in the todo list.
> This 'orphan' should be better implemented and promoted
> for accessibility. The old lynx editor used it to great advantage
> in the days when content transfer was more important than
> whiz bang presentation (with little content).
> MSIE incorporates accesskey but only on some elements
> for example on an anchor hyperlink, the action of pressing
> <alt><accesskey> mves the focus to that link BUT doesnt
> activate it.
> If an anchor name reference has an accesskey attribute, no
> action is taken !!!
>
> Will Amaya be incorporating the accesskey attribute and what
> will the action be ....
> i recommend that it put the focus/cursor on the link or at
> the place of the named anchor.
> Maybe this is too late for pending version but should be
> on todo list as it is both valid html4 and accessibility issue.
