HTMLElement: accessKeyLabel property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

See full compatibility

The HTMLElement.accessKeyLabel read-only property returns a string containing the element's browser-assigned access key (if any); otherwise it returns an empty string.

Example

JavaScript

const btn = document.getElementById("btn1");
const shortcutLabel = btn.accessKeyLabel || btn.accessKey;
btn.title += ` [${shortcutLabel.toUpperCase()}]`;

btn.onclick = () => {
  const feedback = document.createElement("output");
  feedback.textContent = "Pressed!";
  btn.insertAdjacentElement("afterend", feedback);
};
