Accessibility review of these access keys:
Keyboard shortcuts (access keys) are a complicated matter. This feature, in
it's current implementations was temporarily abandoned in W3c's WCAG 2.0
guideline. Notably because it conflicts with the shortcuts of assistive
technologies. Usage of access keys is currently discouraged in the online
contents and applications.
But presence of access keys are also a W3c's [[Authoring Tool Accessibility
Guidelines]] (ATAG) requirement - the ATAG approach is particularly relevant in
MediaWiki's case - where this matter is looked into thoroughly. In particular,
ATAG requires the possibility to customize shortcuts. This feature should be
implemented in MediaWiki.
Currently, their presence in Wikipedia's interface can be problematic for some
users and can be useful for others. But more importantly, it misleads
developers into thinking that the interface is keyboard accessible.
Requirements that needs to be fulfilled in order to be keyboard accessible are
not related to keyboard shortcuts
