How to use the access keys

MS Windows

Press the "alt" key in addition to the access key.

Apple Macintosh

Press the "ctrl" key in addition to the access key.

Access keys, supported by some browsers, allows users to quickly select links without using a mouse. The links also contain a logical tab order to navigate through the links – useful for users with limited hand mobility.

If you need to use these, you'll probably already know how they work. For example, users of Internet Explorer 6 and above should hold down "alt" ("ctrl" on the Mac) and the access key (letter), release, then press Enter. Firefox users, recommended, just hold down the "alt" ("ctrl" on the Mac) and press the required access key.

You can see the designated accesskeys for the links, in brackets, by hovering over them and viewing the 'title' text.

The standard keys are:

(D) Douglas Smith Biography
(Z) Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Greetings Cards
(X) Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Prints
(C) Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Books
(G) France Prints
(H) France Books
(R) Tuscany Prints
(E) Tuscany Books
(Y) America Prints
(P) Australia and Tasmania Prints
(S) Shopping Basket
(A) Accessibility
(L) Links
(W) Desktop Patterns
(F) Download Firefox
