[pmwiki-users] Customizable Access-Keys

[Richard Burnett]

What if you based the user-definable keys on the author name and have 
the settings stored on the server instead?  I imagine this would still 
require a cookie, but here you could just use some userid, and have 
that affect some dynamically loaded code for the key bindings?  This of 
course would require you to maybe set your preferences at a particular 
site, however, I can't see how that would be bad.  Not every site might 
have the same commands, since people are prone to customization (just 
as what we are trying to do here).

Just a thought.
