Browser support for access keys differs according to browser:
- Firefox: Press Shift+Alt+the letter of the access key.
- Internet Explorer 5+: Hold down the ALT key and select the number/letter of the access key, then press ENTER
- Internet Explorer 4: Hold down the ALT key and select the number/letter of the access key
- Internet Explorer 5+ for Mac: Hold down the CTRL key and select the number/letter of the access key
- Internet Explorer 4.5 for Mac: Access keys are not supported
- Netscape 6+: Hold down the ALT key and select the number/letter of the access key
- Opera: In sequence press SHIFT then ESC and then select the number/letter of the access key. The Opera Browser provides the higest (default) level of accessibility in that it uses single, sequential key strokes to activate the Access Key assignments. This enables users navigating with a pointing device, or those restricted to single key stroke interaction, to avoid difficult multiple/simultaneous key stroke combinations (thanks to Big Baer at www.bigbaer.com).
Alternatively you can use the TAB key to select each link in turn, then press RETURN to activate the link.
In forms, you can use the TAB key to select each field in turn. When a field is selected, just begin typing.
Use SHIFT + TAB to scroll through in reverse order
