Access Keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that help users who have difficulty using pointing devices, such as a mouse.

I've chosen numeric access keys to minimize interference with browser shortcuts. Below is a description of the access keys that I have used on this site:

1. home page - music page with mp3 music players
2. live music gigs
3. press and info
4. photo gallery
5. contact page
6. independent music links
7. accessibility statement and access key information
8. Brigand & Rogues lyrics

How to Use the Access Keys:

PC

• IE — press the "ALT" key + access key and then press the "ENTER" key to active the action.
• Firefox 2.0 — "ALT" + "SHIFT" and access key.
• Firefox 3.0 — "ALT" + "SHIFT" + access key (sometimes you need to hit "ENTER" and other times you don’t).
• Opera — the user presses "SHIFT" + "ESC" followed by the access key (without "ALT"). Doing this will display the list of access keys over the current web page.

MAC

• Firefox 2.0 — "CTRL" + access key.
• Firefox 3.0 — "CTRL" + access key and an "ENTER" is required.
• Opera — "SHIFT" + "ESC" followed by the access key (without "ALT"). Doing this will display the list of access keys over the current web page.
• Safari — "CNTL" + access key.
