Package: listarchives Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello,
Please apply the following patch to the mhonarc configuration for
lists.debian.org. This patch implements access-keys for the HTML output,
such that keyboard navigation of the archives is more convenient.
I first proposed this on debian-www[1]. I have had one encouraging
reply[2] which suggests the 'listarchives' address would be a more
appropriate venue and set Reply-To accordingly.
An example of mhonarc output with this patch from a sample of
debian-user is available[3]. The access-keys as implemented are:
date index: d
thread index: t
thread prev: p
thread next: n
date prev: e (earlier)
date next: l (later)
