Yes, Tink, I use access keys if I know they're there, which is sometimes a
matter of guesswork. Perhaps it wold be good if browsers picked them up and
made something visiable/audible of them.
I also write access keys into any web pages I write myself.

Good evening,
Please forgive the cross post, but I wanted to reach the widest audience in the most efficient way.
I'd like to hear from as many people as possible, with your response to a very simple question.
Do you use access keys when they are available on a web site?
For those of you unfamiliar with Access Keys, they are the keyboard
shortcuts which use the alt key in combination with another key, to take the
focus to a given link on a page. You hear them announced in conjunction wit
the link text. For example, "Home page alt + h". In this example, pressing
the "alt h" key combination would either move you to the home page link, or
activate the home page link, depending on the kind of browser you're using.
I hope this makes sense. There is quite a debate raging over these Access Keys, with a great many people speaking out for the way visually impaired people do or don't use them. I'd very much like to represent the voice of real people, so please give me something to work with and let me know your opinions.
As always, thank you for your help.
Regards, Tink.
