In the same edit, Tantek restored instructions, such as "use CTRL S to
save", which I'd removed, which are OS and browser specific, on the basis
that they help some people.
Actually, ctrl-s/alt-s help *the vast majority of people* who use
Windows or Mac for that matter, as the modern browsers on those systems
all support the respective ACCESSKEYs, as do most browsers on linux
systems as well. 90+% easily in terms of total marketshare etc.

If you'd like to suggest improvements for how to word these efficiency
enhancing shortcut tips, it would be great to hear them, but summarily
removing them when clearly they were intended to help was a bit rude.
You're in no position to lecture me or anyone else on manners.
I do sometimes wonder why you bothered to install wiki software.
And I don't have time to list all the edits, clearly intended to help,
which you have summarily reverted.
All the usability guidance I've ever read on
the subject, cautions against giving such advice, which is akin to saying
"to get coffee, turn left, then second right, then the kitchen is first
left". This will help everyone in the office where I work, but probably
won't apply to many other people reading this.
The analogy is false as the coffee directions apply to perhaps <1% of
the people on this list, but the Mediawiki accesskey shortcuts apply to
99% of the people on this list.
I think you've just invented that statistic. Care to prove me wrong?
