Wikipedia talk:Tools/Disable access keys

What are access keys?
This page is highly uninformational, and from just reading it, I don't know what access keys are, and I'm not convinced to turn on this gadget. Please expand on this, because I, personally, don't want to have to read the whole page on access keys. Perhaps this can be like a proper Wikipedia essay, and you can have the template Nutshell with more information under it. All I'm asking is that you expand. Thanks. — Cuyler  91093  -  Contributions  05:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you don't know what the access keys are then they are evidently not bothering you, so you won't have to disable them :). It refers to key combinations like alt-shift-e in Firefox to edit pages, the exact combination of keys depends on your browser. The reason you might want to switch them off is that they override other functions that the key combinations might have. Example: In Firefox, with acces keys on, alt-shift-e goes to 'edit this page', but with access keys off, alt-shift-e opens the edit menu of the browser. See Keyboard shortcuts for a list. On another note, I don't understand why the description page is full protected. Arthena(talk) 22:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh yeah, I remember reading about that. I just forgot. Sorry, and thanks! — Cuyler  91093  -  Соитяівцтіоиѕ  04:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
