AccessKeys

Most browsers support navigation using keyboard shortcuts called AccessKeys, defined by the website you’re visiting.

  • On Windows, you can press ALT + an AccessKey.
  • On a Macintosh, you can press CONTROL + an AccessKey.
  • The Opera browser takes a different approach: you press Shift+ESC and then the AccessKey.
  • Using Firefox under GNOME, I use ALT + SHIFT + AccessKey.

Please note that in Internet Explorer for Windows, if the AccessKey refers to another page, pressing ALT + an AccessKey will only shift focus to the link. You must then press Return to follow the link. In Windows, ALT + some key is also used for menu shortcuts.

  • ALT-E: edit the current page
