122 Standard Access Keys
DiveIntoAccessibility.org suggests using some common access keys. By standardizing on a few, it’s easier to find the rest. They suggest:
Access Key 1 = Home page
Access Key 2 = Skip navigation link
Access Key 9 = Contact us form
Access Key 0 = Accessibility statement where, among other things, you can describe the rest of the access keys.

123 one-key access key ( no ALT! ) in JavaScript - sam
This prototype usage of one-touch access keys links next and back to the present page.
(+, -)
For me, the developer, it can call report making scripts to list
1. estimated download time.(q)
2. images and alt properies.(m)
3. all link href values. (l)
I can also zoom the page of main gif. (i, o)
Text is Japanese – look in html code for list of hotkeys in English.
What are people’s thoughts on this? It does not seem to interfere with Alt-F of Alt-E. IT DOES not make any sense to use on any page with an input textbox since input becomes impossible. THE JS file will be updated and reanemed… so do not link your site to it, folks! If anyone would like to use the JS file, please write to me at my yahoo.com address about it. If anyone can better the table functions, write me and we shall post or permanently host them FOR MOR DEVELOPERS TO USE!

125 NOT CSS!!!
This was a terrible article, but what do you expect from ALA? This is a typical Javascript job. Using CSS for behaviour is very stupid. This is going on my website on Friday.
