[wp-hackers] Usability problems with accesskeys

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Just try pressing ALT1-7 in Firefox when you have a couple of tabs open.. :)

I never use access keys myself either, and when I hit ctrl-a to select 
all and instead get a url pop-up that's annoying.

The browser needs some way of "capturing" special keystrokes when a 
textarea is selected, the users eyes are looking at the textarea, or 
some other magic way of knowing what the user wanted to do! heh.

Donncha.
