Accesskeys on ALA

16th June 2003

Accesskeys: Unlocking Hidden Navigation is the first new technical article on A List Apart in months.

I think the approach demonstrated by the The Ontario Ministry of Energy site is the most appealing, with single letters corresponding to accesskeys underlined as they are in application menus.
