alt-S seems to send "post" to the current page before switching #1

I've noticed odd behaviour when on an SMF-powered forum (http://www.theswamp.org in this case), when I press alt-S, the standard shortcut to switch tabs, it triggers a post / submit and posts a reply on the forum page

here's the html of the element it triggers 

<input type="submit" name="post" value="Post" onclick="return submitThisOnce(this);" accesskey="s" tabindex="2" class="button_submit">

...oh, wait, I see. accesskey="s", that looks familiar. Hrm. Hey, I'll leave this here anyway as a warning to others. I changed the CLUT shortcut to alt-Q so now I just quit all sorts of apps accidentally by habit.

cheers for writing this.

CADbloke confirmed above that the behavior was due to the website itself which he was visiting. The website, had a shortcut which happened to be same as his tab switching key S. Hence closing this issue.
