The following entry in your user CSS file (e.g., User:Example/monobook.css) will display access keys before links that have them.
This does not work in Internet Explorer, since it doesn't support the :before CSS selector. In Safari, this will not work on initially loading a page, but will show up when you mouse-over the menus, go back to a page, or press Home, End, Page Up, or Page Down.
