Hi,
I have encountered an odd phenomena with KDE 3.5.and SL 9.3 Pro. When I press crtl-taste in Konqueror (and maybe in KMail, too), several yellow boxes with one digit or alphabet in each appear. When I press the crtl once again, these boxes disappear. I have absolutely no idea what these boxes are supposed to mean. The only clue is, that these boxes seem to be related to the URLs in the active window...
Any ideas? Can someone reproduce this behaviour?
It's called 'Access Keys'. You press the control key and the letters appear on each link. Then you can press one of the letters or numbers on the links to go to that link. It's an accessibility feature, for people with limited mobility. I think if the web site specifies which access keys to use, it uses them, otherwise it assigns its own. (See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/accesskeys/)
James, thanks for your reply. Well, this feature seems to be very practical indeed. And not only for people wiht limited mobility, but also for those who dislike mouse ;-) Kind regards, Kimmo
