I would also caution all that Accesskeys can be tricky at best. After a
semi-scientific study and antidotal research, there appears to be few if any
universal keystroke combinations for accesskeys which have not already been
claimed by other applications or OSes. It reached the point that after due
consideration the Canadian Governmental standard for Federal web development
retracted their suggested Accesskey combinations and now recommend NOT TO
include them on web sites. (http://www.cio-dpi.gc.ca/clf-upe/6/skip_e.asp)
