      Description

      1. Add the following access key definitions (trigger is Ctrl + Shift + specified letter for all cases):
      1.1 "E" - Edit Contact from Contact Summary (civicrm/contact/view).
      (I don't think there are any other places where we only display a single item with an Edit button - so I don't think there's other use cases for "E" ??)

      1.2 "S" - Save record currently being created / edited. This can be implemented for all forms. If there's not a way to do it globally, then focus on most commonly used forms:

      • Add / edit contact
      • Add / edit contribution
        ???

      1.3 Access keys for each Tab from contact/view:
      "C" - Contributions
      "M" - Memberships
      "E" - Events
      "A" - Activities
      "R" - Relationships
      "G" - Groups
      "N" - Notes
      "T" - Tags

      1.4 "N" - triggers "New xxx" action from search screens, civicrm home and all selectors:

      • From civicrm/dashboard and civicrm/contact/search - N -> New Individual
      • From each contact/view tab (e.g. Contributions) - N -> New Contribution, Membership, Event Registration...
      • From admin selectors (e.g. Manage Events, Manage Contribution Pages, etc.) - N -> New Event ....

      2. Implement an additional "footer" template which discretely displays the available access keys for the current screen.

      ----------------
      Attachment is a sample showing how to do this from Xavier Dutoit...
      As an example, I've added a 'e' access key in the contact view. On firefox 2, <ctrl>+<shift>+e will edit the view directly.

      You get quickly addicted to these shortcuts on webapps.
