+I've written a plugin to implement access keys, configured using a wiki page similar to [[shortcuts]]. It works for links and most form submit buttons.
+
+As I am new to ikiwiki plugin writing, feedback is greatly appreciated.

+
+ =head1 NAME
+
+ accesskeys.pm - IkiWiki module to implement access keys (keyboard shortcuts)
+
+ =head1 VERSION
+
+ v.5.0 - initial version
+
+ =head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ Access keys are defined on a page called B<accesskeys>, using the C<accesskey> directive.
+ Example:
+
+ [[!accesskey command="Save Page" key="s"]]
+
+ B<command> may contain only alphanumeric characters (and spaces), and must be a complete
+ match to the target link or submit button's display name.
+
+ B<key> may only be a single alphanumeric character.
+
+ The access key is applied to the first matching link on a page (including header), or the
+ first matching submit button in the @buttons array.
+
+ The wiki must be completely rebuilt every time the B<accesskeys> page changes.
+
+ =head2 Sample accesskeys page
+
+ [[!if test="enabled(accesskeys)"
+ then="This wiki has accesskeys **enabled**."
+ else="This wiki has accesskeys **disabled**."]]
+
+ This page controls what access keys the wiki uses.
+
+ * [[!accesskey command="Save Page" key="s"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="Cancel" key="c"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="Preview" key="v"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="Edit" key="e"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="RecentChanges" key="c"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="Preferences" key="p"]]
+ * [[!accesskey command="Discussion" key="d"]]
+
+ =head1 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+ This plugin uses the following flow:
+
+ =over 1
+
+ =item 1. Override default CGI::FormBuilder::submit function
+
+ FormBuilder does not support any arbitrary modification of it's submit buttons, so
+ in order to add the necessary attributes you have to intercept the internal function
+ call which generates the formatted html for the submit buttons. Not pretty, but it
+ works.
+
+ =item 2. Get list of keys
+
+ During the B<checkconfig> stage the B<accesskeys> source file is read (default
+ F<accesskeys.mdwn>) to generate a list of defined keys.
+
+ =item 3. Insert keys (links)
+
+ Keys are inserted into links during the format stage. All defined commands are checked
+ against the page's links and if there is a match the key is inserted. Only the first
+ match for each command is processed.
+
+ =item 4. Insert keys (FormBuilder buttons)
+
+ FormBuilder pages are intercepted during formatting. Keys are inserted as above.
+
+ =back
+
+ =head1 TODO
+
+ =over 1
+
+ =item * non-existant page links ex: ?Discussion
+
+ =item * Support non-submit array buttons (like those added after the main group for attachments)
+
+ =item * Support form fields (search box)
