Letters are particularly vexing -- most people that employ them try to use numbers, but even then sneak in a few letters because they want to add "a few extra options". We've summarized as much as possible at: http://www.wats.ca/resources/accesskeysandkeystrokes/38 > How does your visitor know what keys do what? Certainly one of the problems... Others get around this by underlining or bolding the letter as appropriate. Just wanted to present an "alternative" view on accesskeys -- we *really* do support the idea of accesskeys and allowing attachment of keystroke bindings to elements on the page. We also believe, though, that we need to explore other methods given that there are obvious difficulties with current implementations of accesskeys.
