Accessibility

The accesskey attribute specifies a shortcut key to activate/focus an element.

Note: The way of accessing the shortcut key is varying in different browsers:

Browser	Windows	Linux	Mac
Internet Explorer	[Alt] + accesskey	N/A
Chrome	[Alt] + accesskey	[Alt] + accesskey	[Control] [Alt] + accesskey
Firefox	[Alt] [Shift] + accesskey	[Alt] [Shift] + accesskey	[Control] [Alt] + accesskey
Safari	[Alt] + accesskey	N/A	[Control] [Alt] + accesskey
Opera	[Alt] + accesskey

However, in most browsers the shortcut can be set to another combination of keys.

Tip: The behavior if more than one element has the same access key differs:

• IE, Firefox: The next element with the pressed access key will be activated
• Chrome, Safari: The last element with the pressed access key will be activated
• Opera: The first element with the pressed access key will be activated
