You're right.  That thought has been bothering me all along.  Can you
give more concrete examples of the layouts you mentioned, which I cut?
Your point about context sensitivity is especially interesting because
context sensitivity invalidates some of my assumptions.

Also, I mentioned a list of things accesskeys can do: follow links,
push buttons, and set focus.  Do your example layouts require that
shortcuts do things accesskeys can't?  In other words, does the
difficulty lie with associating accesskeys with the right HTML, or the
abilities of accesskeys once associated?

I can imagine useful things to do, which is not the same as a
requirement.  For example, it might be nice to move the mouse over a
link to a tiddler, and use a keyboard or mouse command to act on the
target, such as "close" or "open in edit mode".  TiddlyWiki remains
usable even without those features, though.

OK.  So are you saying that an industrial-strength access-key based
solution is impossible, or difficult, or something else?
