Notes & feedback
Please note that some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader
and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations.
As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.
These access key assignments are based on research into best practice across
the web (in an attempt to be consistent with other sites' access keys), and
an understanding of the key global navigation requirements of xrcvc.org users.
