The shortaccesskey plugin provides a easier and faster way to use the accesskeys assigned to links instead of the standard key combinations like SHIFT+ALT+key and CTRL+key.

• Executes the click events attached to the link using jQuery bind() function.
• In case of AJAX call, the page doesn't redirect to another page.
• Shortaccesskey gets disabled when inside a form element allowing all keys to be used normally.

To use this plugin, first assign the standard HTML attribute accesskey to the desired links in your page. The final link tag should look like -

<a href="somepage.html" accesskey="s">Link to page</a>
        

Add the attribute to as many links as you want in your page. There is no limit. Just make sure that every link has a unique accesskey.

Add the latest jQuery file in your page followed by the jquery.shortaccesskey.js plugin file. And add the following code after it -

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready (function () {
        $.shortaccesskey(); // Call this to activate the short access keys

    });
</script>
