Key Additions?[edit]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to add this, but how about expanding the set of default/universal accesskeys? A few major ones are as follows: (1) for Wikipedia Home (4) to focus on the Search Box (9) for Contact Wikipedia

Maybe we could also have: (2) for Featured Content (5) for About Wikipedia

These controls are mostly missed out of the current set of acceskeys (which seem to focus on logged in users). However the numbers above are consistent with the most popular scheme used on other sites. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darkdoc (talk • contribs) 11:04, August 23, 2007 (UTC).

1. the "watch this page"-star and is overlaid by the "w"-shortcut symbol.

2. the list of pages I'm watching button is being overlapped by the "L"-shortcut symbol. Nakonana (talk) 12:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help function[edit]

It would (IMO) be helpful to have a shortcut for a "help function" by assigning "view the page Keyboard shortcuts" to a key such as ?. --Lambiam 13:44, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
