Access Keys
Most browsers support jumpting to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows browsers (MSIE4.0 or newer), instead of moving the mouse, set focus on a link or in a textbox by holding down the ALT key and pressing a letter (such as Alt+F for File from the menu).
On Macintosh, press Control plus the access key letter.
Here are the keys defined for this site:
ACCESSKEY | Field | Note |
Alt+M | Site Map |
Alt+I | About this site |
Alt+S | Search for word |
Alt+L | Last updated |
Alt+G | Top of Page |
Alt+N | Your first name |
Alt+F | Your Family name |
Alt+C | your Comments |
Alt+U | Email me updates |
Alt+D | Donate |
These access key letters were selected to avoid taking over the grey-bar menus at the top of the browser: F, E, V, A, T, H, D (see next section below).
For example, I use the word "Comments" instead of "Feedback" because the letter "C" is available, but "F" is not.
They were code using the accesskey=A attribute within
