Element: ariaKeyShortcuts property

Baseline 2023

Newly available

Since October 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The ariaKeyShortcuts property of the Element interface reflects the value of the aria-keyshortcuts attribute, which indicates keyboard shortcuts that an author has implemented to activate or give focus to an element.

Value

A string.

Examples

In this example the aria-keyshortcuts attribute on the element with an ID of skip-link is set to "Alt+Shift+A". Using ariaKeyShortcuts we update the value to "Alt+Shift+M".

html
<a id="skip-link" href="#content" aria-keyshortcuts="Alt+Shift+A">
  Skip to content
</a>
js
let el = document.getElementById("saveChanges");
console.log(el.ariaKeyShortcuts); // "Alt+Shift+A"
el.ariaKeyShortcuts = "Alt+Shift+M";
console.log(el.ariaKeyShortcuts); // "Alt+Shift+M"
