Notes and feedback

Please note that some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.

If you have any comments on how we could make better use of access keys, please email us your feedback.
