The first WebAIM screen reader user survey showed very mixed results
for a question about access key usage -
http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey/#accesskeys As many
users always or often use access keys as never or seldom use them. The
difficulty is that unless you are in a closed environment, you can
never know the end user's shortcut keys to know whether you've created
a conflict.
