 described the title, just a small part of it. Remember the `accesskey`
 disaster: many people concluded from its name this would be something good
 to have. It wasn’t. That’s why I think we should not suggest in the name
 that this a proper solution. It isn’t.

 I agree with you, the best solution would be to provide unique, meaningful
 and visible links in situations like this.

 I have discussed this with core WP developers and unfortunately the
 prevailing attitude at the moment seems to be that changing the visible UI
 to improve accessibility is not on the agenda. See also
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25461#comment:35 for a comparable
 situation on visible labels for input fields.

 I wish we did have some control over the layout.

 In the absence of the ideal solution, I believe this function provides a
 way to improve accessibility for some. `get_aria_text_combination()` works
 for me.
