WikiProject Accessibility menu
The Vector skin, which is the default on Wikipedia, contains many keyboard shortcuts. You can use them to access certain features of Wikipedia more quickly.
Keyboard shortcuts, in the way they are implemented on Wikipedia, are useful for some users with disabilities. At the same time, they are bothersome for some screen readers users because it interferes with the shortcuts of their screen reader. The best solution would be to have customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Accessibility review of these access keys (august 2010)
සංස්කරණයKeyboard shortcuts (access keys) are a complicated matter. This feature, in its current implementations was temporarily abandoned in WCAG 2.0, 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 is also an Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) requirement - the ATAG approach is particularly relevant in Wikipedia's case - where this matter is looked into thoroughly. In particular, ATAG requires the possibility to customize shortcuts. This should be requested in bugzilla:477.
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 (G90, F42, SCR35, F58, F61).
Visual display of access keys
සංස්කරණයThe following entry in your user CSS file (e.g., User:Example/vector.css) will display access keys before links that have them.
This does not work in Internet Explorer, since it doesn't support the :before CSS selector.
a[accesskey]:before {
content: " " attr(accesskey) " ";
text-transform: uppercase;
white-space: pre;
border: thin solid;
font-family: sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline overline;
margin-right: 0.5ex;
}
Changing and disabling access keys
සංස්කරණය- See also the talk page behind the removeAccessKeys script. It will explain yet another way.
Some common problematic access keys include d, e, f, and o.
Mediawiki software affects the Wikipedia shortcut keys. To disable or modify "access keys", put the correct JavaScript statements near the bottom of the default system Vector.js, copied to your own sub-file.
You can easily customize by simply cutting and pasting code, and then making slight modifications to the pasted code to effect your customization, before testing and saving the page. Note that access keys are case-sensitive.
Look for something like:
ta['ca-nstab-main'] = new Array('7',"View the content page"); /*change*/ta['ca-delete'] = new Array(,"Delete this page"); /*delete*/
in an up-to-date user's program statements.
