Keyboard Shortcuts in Accessible Theme

In the Accessible user theme, JLV enables the use of Windows keyboard keystrokes (i.e., Tab, Shift + Tab, arrow keys, Enter, etc.) and other keyboard shortcuts to move the on-screen focus to and activate all menus and functions. All user interface items are accessible via the keyboard under the Accessible theme.

 

Generally, pressing Enter when an element that provides action is in keyboard focus will perform the associated action. For example, pressing Enter when the Settings button is in keyboard focus on the Portal screen will open the User Configuration dialog box. Using arrow keys or the Tab key allow a user to move between keyboard focus to navigate through on-screen elements.
