That's strange - I tried this with Safari on Tiger before replying, by 
making a small modification to a toy application in Locomotive, and then 
retyped the relevant line in my message on a Windows machine.

Let me do this from scratch:

in Locomotive, new application "bruce"

open Terminal in this application, and use

$ script/generate controller say hello goodbye

run the application (it's on port 3003 for me)

preview app in browser, and check that I see the placeholders for the 
hello and goodbye pages

http://localhost:3003/say/hello
http://localhost:3003/say/goodbye

Open TextMate on the project, and edit app/views/say/hello.rhtml
to include

<%= link_to 'Goodbye', {:action => 'goodbye'}, :accesskey => 'g' %>

save, view in browser - I can navigate through that link either by 
clicking on it or by using Ctrl-g

This is using Locomotive 1.0
