Fix Information
RULE :
If a single character key shortcut exists, then at least one of the following MUST be true: single character key shortcuts can be turned off, remapped, or are only active when the relevant user interface component is in focus.
HOW TO FIX:
Fix this issue by using ONE or MORE of the following techniques:
1. Provide a mechanism for users to turn off the single character key shortcuts.
2. Provide a mechanism for users to remap the shortcuts to use one or more non-printable keyboard characters (e.g. Ctrl, Alt, etc.).
3. Ensure that the shortcut is only triggered when the relevant component has focus.

BACKGROUND:
Keyboard shortcuts work well for many keyboard users, but single character key shortcuts can have adverse effects for people with motor disabilities who use speech input to interact with a computer. The reason for this is that when a single key is used to trigger a command, a spoken word can become a unexpected barrage of single-key commands if the cursor focus happens to be in the wrong place. Similarly, keyboard-only users who have dexterity challenges can also be prone to accidentally hitting keys. Users must be able to turn off or reconfigure shortcuts to include a non-character keys or to use two or more successive character keys. This will help speech input and keyboard users avoid potentially unrecoverable mistakes.
NOTE: Character keys are defined as letter (including upper- and lower-case letters), punctuation, number, or symbol characters.
