Access Keys
Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that help users who have difficulty using pointing devices, such as a mouse.
I've chosen numeric access keys to minimize interference with browser shortcuts. Below is a description of the access keys
that I have used on this site.
- Home Page
- About Apple Pie.
- Porfolio of Websites
- Articles
- Contact Details
- Overview of all Web Design Services
- Portfolio/Music Websites
- Bed & Breakfast Websites
- Accessibility Statement and Access Key Information
How to Use the Access Keys:
PC
- IE — press the "ALT" key + access key and then press the "ENTER" key to active the action.
- Firefox 2.0 — "ALT" + "SHIFT" and access key.
- Firefox 3.0 — "ALT" + "SHIFT" + access key (sometimes you need to hit "ENTER" and other times you don’t).
- Opera — the user presses "SHIFT" + "ESC" followed by the access key (without "ALT"). Doing this will display the list of access keys over the current web page.
MAC
- Firefox 2.0 — "CTRL" + access key.
- Firefox 3.0 — "CTRL" + access key and an "ENTER" is required.
- Opera — "SHIFT" + "ESC" followed by the access key (without "ALT"). Doing this will display the list of access keys over the current web page.
