Editor Accesskeys

Status

This spec needs review. AaronF: I'm missing keyboard shortcuts for editing. 

Abstract

Accesskeys are keyboard shortcuts on a website. On Windows platforms, they are accessed by using ALT + (Access Key). On a Mac, access keys are accessed via Control+(Access Key). Given the complex navigation hierarchy of a wiki, well-designed access keys will help speed up the user experience for "power" users.

Implementation

In HTML, accesskeys are implemented with a simple accesskey="D" to any <input> or <a> element.
