accessKey for <script>

[RA]

How do I assign a hotkey for a script? I found one way but it works
only when the tiddler is open. It does not work when the script is
inside a popup.

<part Bookmarklets hidden>
<script label="home" title="back to home view">
story.closeAllTiddlers();
restart();
refreshPageTemplate();
return false;
</script><script>place.lastChild.accessKey="H";</script>
</part>

The technique you used (assigning the place.lastChild.accessKey) is
correct. However, access keys only work for elements that are
currently rendered. Popup contents are rendered "on the fly", so the
access key isn't defined until the popup is visible, and is removed
again when the popup is dismissed.

So what would be the technique to have the script always accessible
via access key?

make sure it is rendered somewhere that is never removed (like in the
main menu)

also... to make it a bit cleaner to set the access key, I've just
updated (v1.8.0)
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InlineJavascriptPlugin

so that you can now simply write:
<script label="home" title="back to home view" key="H">
instead of using

</script><script>place.lastChild.accessKey="H";</script>

following the onclick script.
