This is probably a holdover from Windows where nearly every key
combination is used by either the OS, browser or AT like Jaws except the
control+alt set.

Hi Esther
Actually ,they do work, but there as been a change in the Webkit code
base. For access keys, you must now press ctrl+option and the letter.
Needless to say this is annoying as all get out, as it interferes with
just about every Voiceover key combination around.

Hi Mike,
Yes, if you start up WebKit it will look as though Safari is running,
except that things like VO-Shift-M on Web page links will bring up
the contextual menu and other such fixes. You really are running
Safari, but the underlying engine powering it has some fixes. On the
slightly negative side (for me), the access keys for the Mail Archive
site for this list at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
don't work under WebKit right now, so I can't use Control-I to shift
the list of posts to a set of links indexed by date, and Control-C to
shift the listing back to links ordered by content into threads. (Or
navigate through threads to read the next post with Control-n and the
previous post with Control-p; or use the analogous commands of
Control-f and Control-b to move forwards or back by date). This went
away in September, but the fix will appear in an upcoming WebKit
build. Until then, I fire up Safari to read and search the Mailing
List archives for this list, but use WebKit for most everything else
web-related.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi everyone. I decided to give the latest nightly build of web kit a
try, one thing I noticed, when running the webkit application, it
shows as safari, and even calls itself safari 3.1, is safari still
loading but using the newer web kit engine instead? So far, it's
working really well.
