I love the new accesskey for the search input on php.net. I only use it
because it says right on the front page what it is. I have to be reminded
each time I go which letter to use. I can't think of any other site where
I use accesskeys though.

If I had the option, I would probably use accesskeys for:
- print friendly (most of the time it's just control-P)
- search (most of the time I'm using control-F to search in a
page)
- login

I don't use any assistive devices and have almost 20/20 eye sight. I'm
sure this makes a difference...
