[dev] Accessiblity Keys

[Scott Carr]

I just tried this in IE, just to make sure.  In IE, it works as well, but you
have to press enter after the AccessKey.  So accesskey="C" would be
<META>+C<enter>. 

P.S.  I use Mozilla all the time, which is where the original test occured.

> With a Anchor, Input, or various other tags, you can put an accesskey

> 
> '<a href="blah" accesskey="C">This Text</a>'
> 
> This would tell the browser that you want an Access Key on this link.  If a

> hits <meta>+C while that page with that link is up in his/her browser, the
> browser will run that link as if it had been clicked on.  NOTE:  On windows,
> <meta> is the ALT key.  On Linux, this key is selectable, but is usually

> Like in IMP:
> 
> *  Compose = <META>+C  
> *  Expand Names = <META>+X
> *  Inbox = <META>+I
> 
> EXAMPLE:  A user types Wood J and Chuck H in the To Field.  Instead of

> Names, they can just type ALT+X. 
> 
> The only ones I have implemented in my imp so far is for Compose and Expand
> Names at the moment.
