Comment 5 for bug 359180

I don't think that type links are well supported on major browsers. We have them in Lynx and Opera but I was not able to see them on a standard Firefox or Chromium... don't remember seeing them on Epiphany.

The problem with accesskey is that can conflict with menu accelerators.
Ex. we can not use _First with acesskey="f" as Alt+F will open the file menu on most menus.

Since menu accelerators are configurable and they change with the localization a safe pick will be using characters like [];'\,./
While they are mapped on a US keyboard not all keyboard layout have a direct access for them. Ex in DE / is SHIFT+7

At least on Linux, accesskey conflicts with menu accelerators can be avoided by using SHIFT+ALT+ACCESSKEY

It would be nice to have the most frequent link mapped to shortcuts that can be typed with a single hand :)

_First
_Previous
N_ext - Frequent
_Last
_Save & Continue - Frequent

What do you say ?
I can write the required patch if needed.
