Hi.

We have a request to add another accesskey to the Sakai portal:

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-23614

To review, we have the following accesskeys defined already:

jump to content [c]
jump to tool list [l]
jump to site tabs [w]

This would add:

jump to more sites drawer [m]

A possibility is to group all these functions into a single accesskeyed
menu that then could be navigated. The model is from a screen reader
developer:

http://paypal.github.io/SkipTo/

We discussed these possibilities at the last conference. Joe Humbert
 (IUPUI) pointed that it would add a few keystrokes for the most commonly
used accesskey (jumping to content). So perhaps we should consider having
2, one to open the menu, the other to go to the content.

Thoughts?
