I should also update http://www.kde.org/media/accesskeys.php now to 
document the changes in Konqueror.

Since which version exactly are accesskeys supported? And what was the 
exact key combination before this change?

While I agree that this is a good idea for normal cases, please be aware 
of the "Sticky Keys" setting in kcontrol. With "Sticky Keys" activated, 
you can press [Ctrl] and then [S] instead of [Ctrl][S] to save a page. 
This is important for people who can only hit one key at a time.

This means that there will still be a collision of shortcuts if sticky 
keys are used. This is still better than having the shortcut collision in 
all cases. Maybe [Ctrl], then [Alt], then [Accesskey] could be used if 
sticky keys are enabled.
