Visual display of access keys
The following entry in your user CSS file (e.g., User:Example/monobook.css) will display accesskeys before links that have them.

This does not work in Internet Explorer, since it doesn't support the :before CSS selector. In Safari, this will not work on initially loading a page, but will show up when you mouse-over the menus, go back to a page, or press Home, End, Page Up, or Page Down.

a[accesskey]:before { content: " " attr(accesskey) " "; text-transform: uppercase; white-space: pre; border: thin solid; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: underline overline; margin-right: 0.5ex; }

Changing and disabling access keys
Most of the access keys and tooltips are now defined in Mediawiki software, some are added by JavaScript in MediaWiki:Common.js. You can easily customize them by adding some code to your monobook.js file.

For example, this will change accesskey to '0': ta['ca-nstab-main'] = new Array('0','View the content page');

To disable certain access keys can use the example above but specify some other access key (see this example)

Also you can use removeAccessKeys script.
