Access Keys
Rather than use a mouse, many browsers, e.g. Internet Explorer, Konquerer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera (PCs and Apple Mac), and OmniWeb and Safari (Apple Mac only), support website navigation through typing website-defined keys.
The keys, and the instructions for their use, are listed below. This site can be accessed and navigated through them.
