Element: ariaKeyShortcuts property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2023.
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"
