Two shortcuts use the same key

accesskeys

More than one element claims the same keyboard shortcut, so only one of them ever responds.

Who this affects

Keyboard users who rely on shortcuts.

Fix it in WordPress

Search theme templates for accesskey and remove it unless it is genuinely needed.

What the fix is, technically

Make every accesskey value unique, or remove them. They frequently clash with browser and screen reader shortcuts anyway.
