[wishlist] keyboard navigation for HTML version

[era]

Binary package hint: diveintopython

I don't know how hard this would be to do, but it would be really convenient if the HTTP version defined <link rel=next> etc links and bound them to a keyboard shortcut (N or right arrow) ... and for orthogonality, I suppose, <link rel=previous> etc too.

Ironically (?) a good source for more information appears to be http://diveintoaccessibility.org/day_9_providing_additional_navigation_aids.html by the same author, although that doesn't cover how to bind these shortcuts to keystrokes; see also http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#link-accesskey for more.

(Perhaps the accesskey attribute can't be set for the LINK element -- you might have to edit the templates for the regular "Next page" links etc instead. I haven't looked at the build scripts but I imagine this would not be too complicated.)

Actually the <link rel=...> links are already fine and dandy, all that's missing is a sensible access key for navigating from one page to the next. There are even a few accesskey= attributes already, but they're not particularly helpful (there is one to go to the home page, and one for the search box).

[era (era)]

In actual reality, perhaps it would make sense to reassign this bug to the toolchain used for building the HTML version; but I'm not familiar enough with the build process to even know which toolchain that would be.

Has this been implemented yet? Thank you.

As of Jaunty (diveintopython 5.4-2ubuntu2), there are <link rel="next"> and "previous" links, but no keyboard shortcuts assigned.
