How to Use Access keys:
In most web browsers, the user does this by pressing Alt (on PC) or Ctrl (on Mac) simultaneously with the appropriate character on the keyboard. In Opera, the user presses ? Shift+Esc followed by the access key (without Alt). In Mozilla Firefox 2.0 the access key keyboard combination has changed to Alt + ? Shift (still configurable via about:config), while in Amaya, the preferences allow the user the option of choosing Ctrl or Alt. In Konqueror on Linux, The Ctrl key is pressed and released, and then the access key is pressed.
Whilst Mozilla and Firefox will execute the corresponding links
immediately on the press of the access key, IE will just focus on the
link and require ↵ Enter
to be pressed in order to activate the link. If multiple identical
access keys are assigned within the same document, IE will tab through
them on each keypress (IE will tab backwards if ? Shift
will be pressed as well). This way, links can be logically grouped in
various access key rings for easier navigation. IE 4.0 did only support
letters of the English alphabet as accesskeys. Firefox 2.0 will
activate the last of a group of links assigned the same accesskey.
Access Keys are not supported by the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 4.5 for Mac
Netscape versions earlier than 6
