I really wish websites would stop using single-letter hotkeys. I regularly accidentally mute people on Twitter because the mute hotkey is in the position where my fingers naturally rest when using a trackpoint for scrolling. I think there was a guidelines (from W3C or WHATWG probably) that such hotkeys should not be used or at least should be turned off by default, but I guess noone sticks to those recommendations these days.
