Keyboard Shortcuts in my JSF page

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to make an easy keyboard shortcut in my JSF page

each page has several buttons and I would like to be able to have a user press something like alt+a to activate a button called 'Add Report to Group'

in .net you just put an & before the letter you want to be the shortcut key, is there an option like this in JSF (apart from writing some javascript code which is what I found on the web)

Answer 1

Use the HTML-provided accesskey attribute which is also mapped in <h:commandButton> and <h:commandLink> .

<h:commandButton value="Add" accesskey="a" action="#{bean.add}" />

This button can then be invoked by Alt + A or Shift + Alt + A , depending on the browser used.
