Firefox 2 access keys

Has anyone any thoughts on what to do about the change in the default
accesskey combination in Firefox 2 (Windows)? It has gone from ALT +
key to SHIFT + ALT + key, which makes the usual 0,1,2 options
inaccessible.

Granted it is possible to reset this behaviour using about:config and
a setting under ui.*, but the default is the one we have to expect.
The permutations are noted here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.contentAccess

None of the browsers are consistent, but it is unfortunate that
certain keys become hard to reach.

I think the current permutations are these, (based on research as I do
not have access to all of them for verification):

Alt + accesskey followed by Enter
   Internet Explorer for Windows

Alt + accesskey
   Firefox for Windows before version 2
   Mozilla for Windows
   Netscape 6+ for Windows

Alt + SHIFT + accesskey
   Firefox for Windows 2

SHIFT + Esc + accesskey
   Opera for Windows or Mac (actually pops up a list on SHIFT + Esc)

Ctrl + accesskey
   Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac
   Safari 1.2 (Mac only)
   Firefox for Mac (including 2!)
   Mozilla for Mac
   Netscape 6+ for Mac

Not supported
   Camino (Mac only)
   IE<4, Netscape<6

Lynx (2.8.5 rel 1.1 checked)
   Probably use 'l' (lower case L) for the link list
