Feature request

What is the expected behavior?

In HTML 5 it is possible to add the accesskey attribute to any element, in HTML 4.01 it's possible to set this on anchors, areas, buttons, inputs, labels, legends and textareas.

Any material component that uses one of these should support setting accesskey and pass it to the main html element beneath like other element attributes.

What is the current behavior?

As far that I can see no material components are implementing accesskey.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

We are trying to give users the ability to use keyboard instead of mouse or other pointing tools to be able to use our Angular application. This would help that.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular 6.0.3
Material 6.2
