  • Publication number: 20230418392
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing enhanced accessibility to access keys across a variety of keyboard layouts (or other character input devices). In particular, systems described herein involve determining access key characters to display in conjunction with selectable inputs via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device where the access key characters are selectively determined based on display characters that are mapped to specific keys on a particular keyboard layout. This enables access key characters of all kinds (not limited to Latin-based types) to be provided in conjunction with selectable icons in a way that enables an individual to use the access keys with any type of keyboard or other input device.
