  • 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.
