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.
You can change them in JavaScript *after* they're set to defaults in the
HTML. Shall we change all the "http://foo" URLs to
"javascript:document.location='http://foo'"? After all, accessibility
only means blind people using JavaScript, right! Sigh........
(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.
Thanks for your sympathy.
