   Hello,
   I'm wondering if there is a way of modifying the %link part of the previous_post_link() function?
   I want to be able to add an accesskey attribute to it? Alternatively, is there a way of getting the url for the next and previous post as a string so I can build the link myself?

   I might be overlooking something, or perhaps I haven’t searched properly?

   Any leads welcome,

   Sebastian

   get_adjacent_post()

   or

   get_next_post()
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_next_post

   get_previous_post()
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_previous_post

   and then using the post id:

   get_permalink()
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink

   I would seriously advise against the use of accesskeys.

   Thanks @alchymyth. That's what I was looking for. Should have been able to figure it out myself.

   @elfin, may I ask why you advise agains the use of accesskeys? I'm interested in having some form of keyboard navigation on the prev/next links, but I've considered just adding it jQuery.

   I wish to heck that any kind of access keys worked consistently in all browsers. But even with hacks they just wont. More trouble than they are worth IMHO.

   Finding resources on this is a little difficult, most of the articles are in the 5yr+ years ago:
