    Please add accesskeys for tasks such as "Save", "Cancel (Close)", "Preview".
    It would greatly enhance the usability for keyboard guys like me.

      Please file requests in JIRA, our bugtracking software: http://bugs.modxcms.com/

      As for that specific request, you cannot simply just "add" them as browsers use ALT+S and other keys for browser-specific tasks.

        There are javascript libraries to do that, but they can cause other problems as well. Better to remember that this is not a desktop application; your browser is the desktop application and gets the usual desktop keyboard shortcuts. Override that at your own risk.
