 Upon installation, the module will add a few default hotkeys any other hotkey

+API
+------------------------
+
+Hotkeys can be added interactively through the provided UI, but if you want
+your hotkeys to reside in code, Hotkey provides two hooks for this purpose.
+
+  hook_hotkey_form
+  ----------------
+hook_hotkey_form allows modules to add hotkeys to form buttons.  
+Your implementations should return an array of hotkey specifications.  Each hotkey specification is an array with three elements:  name, id, and hkey.  
+  'name' is the text that appears on the button.  If you use this attribute,
+     you should use the t() function to make sure that your specification
+     doesn't break in other localizations.
+  'id' is the id of the button, in the form object (Not the html ID.  Example:
+     If the html ID of the button is 'edit-submit', then that form ID is
+     'submit').  You can specify a button using the 'name', the 'id', or both.
+  'hkey' is the accesskey you want users to be able to use to click the button.
+
+Example:
+  function MODULE_hotkey_form() {
+    return array( 
+      array( 
+        'name' => t("Save configuration"), 
+        'id' => 'submit', 
+        'hkey' => 's',
+      ),
+    );
+  }
+
+  hook_hotkey_links
+  -----------------
+'hook_hotkey_links' allows modules to add links to nodes, with hotkeys.  It is
+very similar to hook_link_alter, but provides a couple of things that make it a
+little more convenient to add hotkeys.
+
+Your module should return an array of link specifiers, where each link
+specifier is an array with they keys 'title', 'href', 'attributes', 'query',
+and 'fragment'.  For the most part, the semantics are identical to
+hook_link_alter, but hotkey will replace instances of '$nid' in the href with
+the current node id, and will add title text to explain to users how to use the
+hotkey.
+
+Example:
+  function MODULE_hotkey_links() {
+    return array(
+      array(
+        'title' => t("Do something cool"),
+        'href' => "node/$nid/cool",
+        'hkey' => 'z',
+      ),
+    );
+  }
+
