update: Got a beautiful app with exclusive shortcuts for every view, all javascript. I’m gonna look into Fogbugz, i like the hovering shortcut-codes, thanks for the reference.

i want to make my site accessible and more usable for visitors. Which keyCodes can I safely use to handle certain javascript actions?

With safely I mean:

  • keyCodes that don’t interrupt with default browser actions
    • No direct functionality (like pressing F1 for Help)
    • No indirect functionality (like pressing Ctrl + C for Copy)

Or should I prevent default actions from executing?

    I personally avoid using these keycodes or AccessKeys for a public-facing site, as there is no way to know whether you are conflicting with some predefined shortcuts in users’ software like screenreading software, etc.
