How to implement keyboard shortcuts on websites

Where should I begin if I want users to be able to use keyboard shortcuts on a site. I'm currently using php and jquery to create site. How will I be able to add keyboard shortcuts aside from the usual point and click method. Links to site where I could begin will do. Thanks.
