Access keys are just how they're referred to in MediaWiki, so I'm trying to stick to using that name to reduce confusion ... especially my own confusion :)

For support, I'm not sure why it may be different now. We can have a look at it again, but unfortunately so far we've not had much luck. (While I'd love to suggest getting Win7 or switching to another browser, I know that's not always possible or reasonable - I do still care for IE users!).

On speed: sounds odd for IE8 to act quite that slow. Do you mind if I ask what kind of age the computer you're using is?
