I put together a few tests and results for accesskey attributes in HTML. https://www.w3.org/International/tests/repo/results/accesskey They show wide variations in the way shortcut keys are handled across browsers. Firefox on a Mac worked ok for basic ASCII and Devanagari, but not for a latin1 character outside ASCII, nor for greek. It also didn't work for any test that required the use of the shift key to access a particular character. It only supported case-insensitive matching for ASCII characters. Chrome passed all the tests on the Mac, including tests for keys that produce more than one character. Use of the shift key to access a character failed on Windows 10 for ASCII and Greek, but worked for Devanagari. Safari was like Chrome except that, like Firefox, it only supported case-insensitive matching for ASCII characters. Edge was a very mixed bag, but one standout observation is that Devanagari wasn't supported at all (although Greek was partially supported). ri
