Access Keys
Sitewide Access Keys:
- S = Skip to the main content on the page.
- 1 = Home
- 2 = Workshop Schedule
- 3 = Workshop Descriptions
- 4 = Information Packets
- 5 = About STEP
- 6 = Newsletters
- 7 = Links
- 8 = Contact
The "access key" allows you to use a keyboard shortcut to skip the main navigation menu and go directly to the content. This can be extremely helpful to users who employ a screen reader to read our web site aloud.
How the access key is activated depends on the browser; typically on Windows systems, users hold the Alt key while pressing the letter or number defined in the accesskey attribute; on Macintosh systems, users use Control and the accesskey.
If the user presses Alt-S (Windows) or Control-S (Macintosh) at any time on the page, the focus will move to the link; they can then press Enter to follow the link.
