Alt+Shift+E triggers the "Edit this Page" access key in DokuWiki, in Chrome on both Linux and Windows. Firefox does the same thing, it uses Alt+Shift for access keys so they don't interfere with Alt accelerators that interfere with the menu bar.
I'm getting inconsistent results with Alt+E in Chrome, though. On Linux it only pops up the Edit menu (document icon menu). On Windows it pops up the menu and then edits the page (for DocuWiki). Considering every browser uses a different key now, I think Firefox's solution is the simplest short-term solution. Alt+Shift will never interfere with anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_key#Access_in_different_Browsers - Dominic On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 1:33 PM, Peter Kasting <pkast...@google.com> wrote: > On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 1:12 PM, Michael Moss <mm...@google.com> wrote: >> >> We have a well-defined set of >> accelerators that we always want to go to the browser so pages can't >> prevent tab closing/switching >> (http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=27814), but >> other than that, I thought browser shortcuts were supposed to defer to >> accesskeys. > > My concern is over the fact that ctrl+key and alt+key perhaps should not be > handled identically.
