Firefox on Linux uses Alt-1...Alt-9 to switch between tabs. Trac
registers various Alt-numbers as accesskeys for various pages in the
navbar. If I press Alt-#, both actions take place: Firefox focuses
another tab and activates a link in the old tab. It is very irritating.

I want to disable these accesskeys, but they are hardcoded in Python code.

Me too, but for a different reason: I frequently use ALT + 130 like codes
for special characters, and these accesskeys break that. There should be
an easy way to disable them.

Comment (by anonymous):

I am experiencing this problem too. The bug is quite annoying because it
is usually triggered in this scenario:

1. Open some bug report in Trac
2. Switch to another tab using Alt+2
3. Firefox switches to the tab, meanwhile Trac loads another page instead
of the bug report. Because it happens in the background, the reload is
very noticeable.
4. Try to switch back to bug report, but it's gone! Scour through other
tabs to no avail, resort to finding the page you were on again. Of course,
you could click "Back" if you were aware of the bug, but as I said it's
not very noticeable.

I would like to register my dissatisfaction for these accesskeys too. I
experience the same things with the firefox tab switching. It is very
frustrating if you have entered a long bug report

Comment (by marijn):

Me too, basically. After losing two meticulously typed out feature
requests because my webmail in another firefox tab announced a new mail,
and my first reaction was to hit alt-2 to go there, only to find my trac
tab back at the timeline page and my text gone (back-button didn't recover
it, for some reason).

Comment (by Manuzhai):

I'm not sure if there is a quick fix for this while retaining the
functionality, but for those who find this annoying enough to want to
apply a patch, I've attached a two-line patch that disables all numeric
accesskeys generated from the code.

I just added a new patch. The older patch doesn't work on 0.11dev, since
the place where it filtered out the accesskeys moved to Genshi.

This patch is also cleaner in the sense that it just cuts out the
originating code.
