#29113 [Csd->Bgs]: Alt-S is used by German IExplorer

ID: 29113 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Alt-S is mentioned on that page, and its usage in Win IE is not described. I have no Windows to test, so I assume Alt-S is only reserved for the address field in German IEs. That means it does not warrant the modification of our accesskey IMHO. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 12:04:39] hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de I guess you should take it completely out then, as the article you posted concludes as preferrable solution, too. I see Alt-S is not even listed in the article, so it seems futile to search a "free" key. Alternatively, I think, in the context, Alt-F, overriding the file menu access, might make a sense as a Feature. In the context of browsing that pages it is very rare that you access the file menu. If you know Alt-F, you know Ctrl-S, too, and what else would you need from the file menu? (It's book marks (Favorites) in German by the way). Alt-S, you remember, was an address field short cut, very likely to be used in the context - simply to go somewhere else after reading. Nough said on this. Thanks for taking the time, Henning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 10:53:40] goba@php.net Well, it is very hard to find a 'proper' access key as even if you only consider English versions of popular browsers, a lot of keys are already used. See http://www.wats.ca/resources/accesskeysandkeystrokes/38 Now add in all different language variant and you can get an idea of why we are not choosing some less obvious combination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 01:37:19] hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de Obviously, yes, with english browsers I guess it is (I use a German one, there it's Alt-D). Well, sorry, so Alt-F won't work either. I would maintain the original point, to change it to SOMETHING else, though, as Alt-S is really the only shortcut I press without thinking. German IE has Alt-S, -D, -B, -A, -F, -X, -? defined for Menus and the Address field.
