Some Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

Access Keys

    Most browsers support jumpting to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site.

    On Windows browsers (MSIE4.0 or newer), instead of moving the mouse, set focus on a link or in a textbox by holding down the ALT key and pressing a letter (such as Alt+F for File from the menu).

    On Macintosh, press Control plus the access key letter.

    Here are the keys defined for this site:

    ACCESSKEY Field Note
    Alt+MSite Map
    Alt+IAbout this site
    Alt+SSearch for word
    Alt+LLast updated
    Alt+GTop of Page
    Alt+NYour first name
    Alt+FYour Family name
    Alt+Cyour Comments
    Alt+UEmail me updates
    Alt+DDonate

    These access key letters were selected to avoid taking over the grey-bar menus at the top of the browser: F, E, V, A, T, H, D (see next section below).

    For example, I use the word "Comments" instead of "Feedback" because the letter "C" is available, but "F" is not.

    They were code using the accesskey=A attribute within
