Useful Mozilla stuff..

Many webpages use 'quick access keys' to make it easier to navigate..
For example on http://freshmeat.net you can use Alt-b to browse the software-map, Alt-h to get to the homepage, Alt-a to get to the articles..
Or on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page you can use Alt-x to get a random page, Alt-r to see the recent changes.
You can use this file to make those access keys visible:
Filename: usercontent.css and it should be in the directory MOZILLAPROFILE/chrome. This MOZILLAPROFILE is something like (windows) c:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data/Mozilla/Profiles/Default User/RANDOMCHARS.slt or (linux) ~/.mozilla/profiles/RANDOMCHARS.slt (i think)

Code: Select all

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;
}

I can't upload a screenshot in the new forum.. it shows the key you have to press together with Alt in a little blue box right before the link.. Many online banking pages use those things too. Quite useful.
It also works with Firefox and i guess all other mozilla based browsers.

The Unix Firefox profiles are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/

And it's userContent.css, not usercontent.css.

Ok.. here a screenshot so you can take a look at it..
There are at least 12 of those accesskeys on the nexuiz-wikipedia page visible
