== Display  access keys ==

The following entry in [[Special:Mypage/vector.css|your user CSS file]] (e.g., [[User:Example/vector.css]]) will display access keys before links that have them.

This does not work in [[Internet Explorer]] versions lower than 8.0, since they don't support the :before CSS selector.

 a[accesskey]:before {
     content: " " attr(accesskey) " ";
     text-transform: uppercase;
     white-space: pre;
     border: thin solid;
     font-family: sans-serif;
     text-decoration: underline overline;
     margin-right: 0.5ex;
 }

==Changing and disabling access keys==

:''See also the  ''[[WT:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/removeAccessKeys| removeAccessKeys]]'' script  talk page.  It will explain yet another way.''

A list of the shortcut keys can be found here: [[User:Matt B./monobook.js]]

To disable or modify these access keys, add the code near the bottom of your own skin file (e.g., User:Example/vector.js).  Access keys are case-sensitive.

Some common problematic access keys include:

'''d''' (delete page):
  /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
 <code>ta['ca-delete'] = new Array(,"Delete this page"); /*delete*/</code>

'''e''' (edit page):
  /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
  <nowiki>ta['ca-edit'] = new Array('','Edit this page');</nowiki>

'''f''' ("find"/go to search box):
  /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
  <nowiki>ta['search'] = new Array('','Search this wiki');</nowiki>
