The implementation of Access Keys ensures the user is able to access specific links that they may find helpful by using browser-specific shortcuts. For example, in Internet Explorer and Netscape, the user can use a key combination on their keyboard of the Alt key and one of the numbers or letters below. This is helpful for users who find it difficult to manage a mouse.
