Access Key

[aravenwood]

Can anyone explain what the 'access key' field on the edit content page is used for/how to use it?  I couldn't find anything clear in the documentation/forum.

Thanks in advance,

It is mainly used for accessibility links for screen readers...
source view of default install...

title="Skip to content" accesskey="s">Skip to content

As Mark said, access keys are used to make a web site more accessible to visually impaired people who use screen readers.
By pressing "alt+the access key you choose for that page or link", the screen reader will automatically move the focus to that link. This way blind people can reach the link more quickly, without reading the whole page or all the links every time they visit the page.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
