    I desperately needed this to work for Links as well, so I’ve modified the plugin. Email me and I can contribute the updated code.

    Excellent plug-in. I have used it on my site and am very pleased with it with one exception - the ‘0′ (zero) access key does not get written to the page links. I checked your site too and it exhibits the same symptom. All of your access keys as published on your accessibility page with the exception of ‘0′, ‘Accessibility’, are written.
