Reworked css include/pref/tooltip/accesskey subsystem
* accesskeys and tooltips moved to js, needs to be
customized/localized at MediaWiki:Monobook.js. Saves many calls to
wfMsg, reduces page size, shows access key prefix depending on
browser/os. Easy to customize by changing the ta array.
Most of the access keys no longer work with JavaScript disabled. This is
puzzling, as it seems to defeat the 'accessibility' part. Is this
intentional?
Yes. Acessibility doesn't necessarily mean no javascript. Afaik all
common screenreaders i know of use js (they are based on IE), the
ability to change the access keys will be useful to disabled users as
well.
(However many of the keys need to be changed in the first place due to
conflicts with existing browser shortcut keys as outlined in my earlier
post on the subject.)
Go ahead, make a proposal or edit MediaWiki:Monobook.js. Hope the result
isn't completely impossible to remember.
