Project Details
Instead of reading about it, try it out! Every link on this page has a hotkey (bold and underlined). If your browser is JavaScript enabled, you can navigate the links on this page by pressing the corresponding key.
Website owners can quickly convert their existing content to be easily accessed by persons with physical disabilities or conditions that prevent the effective use of a mouse. Using JavaScript, it dynamically adds hotkeys to links, allowing keyboard navigation. No editing is required - simply include the JavaScript file in your document's header.
Features
- Dynamically adds hotkeys to text links found in html content, allowing a user to navigate your website via keypress.
- Navigate links using a keyboard by pressing the corresponding key (bold and underlined)
- Shift+keypress opens in a new window.
- Intended for dynamic content such as PHP websites (ex. forums, blogs, CMS), where editing individual links is time-consuming.
- Works with HTML Anchors (Just like on this page!)

This software is still in the BETA stages of development. In other words: although usable, it obviously isn't recommended to be deployed on an established website without thorough testing first. Unfortunately, no documentation is available at the moment regarding customization and such. I'll get right on that pronto!
