string value of "n" to the property indicates that the key combination of alt+n can be used as a shortcut key.

I am not sure but I think property called "AssociatedControlId" is must.Please give a try

Try out for : Shift+Alt+n

Ex:

C#

<asp:button id="btnNew" runat="server" text="New" tooltip="New Button" onclick="btnNew_Click" accesskey="n" associatedcontrolid="btnNew" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />

Solution 3

I have the same problem with FireFox on a Mac. I am using accesskey n for next and p for previous and p works but n does not.

The two other solutions don't address the problem, the author knows what keys to use on his keyboard.
