Using Keyboard Shortcuts In Administration

One new feature added to the administration in 68 Classifieds v4 was access keys for navigation. Here is a list of the access keys currently available:

An access key or accesskey allows a computer user to immediately jump to a specific part of a web page via the keyboard.

• Alt + D - Dashboard
  • Alt + H - Home
  • Alt + F - Support Forums
• Alt + L - Listings
• Alt + O - Orders
• Alt + U - Users
• Alt + C - Categories
• Alt + P - Payment
• Alt + S - Settings
  • Alt + M - Modules

From Wikipedia
In most web browsers, the user does this by pressing Alt (on PC) or Ctrl (on Mac) simultaneously with the appropriate character on the keyboard. In Opera, the user presses ⇧ Shift+Esc followed by the access key (without Alt). In Mozilla Firefox 2.0 the access key keyboard combination has changed to Alt + ⇧ Shift (still configurable via about:config), while in Amaya, the preferences allow the user the option of choosing Ctrl or Alt. In Konqueror on Linux, The Ctrl key is pressed and released, and then the access key is pressed.

Whilst Mozilla and Firefox will execute the corresponding links immediately on the press of the access key, IE will just focus on the link and require ↵ Enter to be pressed in order to activate the link. If multiple identical access keys are assigned within the same document, IE will tab through them on each keypress (IE will tab backwards if ⇧ Shift will be pressed as well). This way, links can be logically grouped in various access key rings for easier navigation. IE 4.0 did only support letters of the English alphabet as accesskeys. Firefox 2.0 will activate the last of a group of links assigned the same accesskey.
