access keys on phpwcms?

Post by design »

Hello! I would like create a site 100% accessible and I want use access keys for keyboard navigation.
Is there a way to insert access keys using the dynamic menu like nav_hcss? It should be great! :lol:

I'd like to know this myself too ;)
But this seems to be rather difficult: if appended dynamically how will the system know what to do, and a menu like Drop_Down_dyn with a very deep structure will end up with hundreds of Access Keys, while more than 10 will be a p.i.t.a. to remember (or they have to be appended to the first level only, for example).
But right now you can apply some to the main spots in your site quickly (Navi, Content, Sitemap, Subnavi, Contact...), and remember -to prevent frustration- that the internet per se can't be barrier free at all! :!:

Thanks Claus!
Unfortunatly I'm not a php expert, but I imagine an "access key" field in the category information. In the admin area, where there are fields like title, alias, template, top article count, fronten menu status... , you can find a field like "access key" and there you can assign a number or a letter.
So you have the possibility to assign a key manually!
What do you think about this idea? It is possible?
Thank you!

Any NEWS about this very handy feature? BTW: this isn't handy only, it is rather urgently needed...
Also see http://forum.phpwcms.org/viewtopic.php? ... =accesskey
as a proof of demand
