Display access keys[edit]
The following entry in 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[edit]
Disabling access keys in general[edit]
Disabling individual acess keys[edit]
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 access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
ta['ca-delete'] = new Array(,"Delete this page"); /*delete*/
e (edit page):
/* disable access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
ta['ca-edit'] = new Array('','Edit this page');
f ("find"/go to search box):
/* disable access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
ta['search'] = new Array('','Search this wiki');
