People like to use keyboard short cuts than mouse clicks as they grow familiar with a tool or a software . For example, as I started becoming familiar with MS Office in my early days of computer use, I started using more and more of the keyboard. I also created my own custom shortcuts too.
In the web, one sees few keyboard shortcuts. But recently when I started using Google Reader - which strictly speaking is an application rather than a website- I started using the shortcuts to move from posting to posting as well as viewing the original site. This greatly improved my experience of using the tool.
This makes me wonder why website should not provide key board short cuts. It might be impossible to have a short cut for each link on the a web page - but there should be some innovative way to assign shortcuts.
