Browsers' reserved keys (i.e. characters not to use for accesskeys)

Alt is normally the access key modifier, e.g Alt-c will trigger the link associated with the c character.

When assigning access keys you must avoid using characters that are also used by the browser with the Alt modifier. Here is a list:
