The [[Wikipedia:Monobook|Monobook]] [[:meta:Skins|skin]], which is the default on [[Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], contains many [[Keyboard shortcut|Keyboard shortcut]]s. You can use them to access certain features of Wikipedia more quickly.

Depending on your browser, you should

*[[Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]] 1.5: hold ''Alt'', press access key
*[[Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]] 2, 3 on [[Windows|Windows]] and [[Linux|Linux]]: hold ''Alt-Shift'', press access key
**[[Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]] on [[Mac OS X|Mac OS X]]: hold ''Ctrl'', press access key
*[[Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]] 6: hold ''Alt'', press access key
*[[Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]] 7: hold ''Alt-Shift'', press access key
*[[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] (all platforms): press ''Shift-Esc'', then press access key (''Shift-Esc'' will display the list of choices)
*[[Google Chrome|Google Chrome]]: hold ''Alt'', press access key
*[[Safari|Safari]]: hold ''Ctrl-Alt'', press access key

See [[Access keys|Access keys]] for more information on this concept.

<br>

== Visual display of access keys ==

The following entry in [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|your user CSS file]] (e.g., [[User:Example/monobook.css|User:Example/monobook.css]]) will display access keys before links that have them.

This does not work in [[Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]], since it doesn't support the :before CSS selector.

a[accesskey]:before {
content: " " attr(accesskey) " ";
text-transform: uppercase;
white-space: pre;
border: thin solid;
font-family: sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline overline;
margin-right: 0.5ex;
}

== Changing and disabling access keys ==

Most of the access keys and tooltips are now defined in [[Mediawiki|Mediawiki]] software, some are added by JavaScript in [[MediaWiki:Common.js|MediaWiki:Common.js]]. You can easily customize them by adding some code to [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js|your monobook.js file]].

For example, this will change accesskey to '0':

ta['ca-nstab-main'] = new Array('0','View the content page');

<br> To disable certain access keys can use the example above but specify some other access key (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Matt_B./monobook.js&oldid=116299990 this example])

Also you can use [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/removeAccessKeys|removeAccessKeys script]].
