Access Keys
For much faster navigation and formatting you can use access keys in DokuWiki. Unfortunately how they work depends on your Browser and Operating System. Usually you hit ALT
and the Key. On the Macintosh it's CTRL
and the Key. In Opera, because it already uses extensive keyboard navigation (and to stop pages hijacking user-specified key mappings), you need to enable access key mode using Shift
and ESC
first before you can hit them directly. In some browsers using the access key only sets the focus and you have to hit Enter
after using it.
Here is a quick roundup on trying if it works. We will try to get back to the start page. Just follow the steps until something happens.
- Hit
ALT + SHIFT + H
- Hit
ALT + H
- Hit
CTRL + H
- Hit
ALT + H
then pressEnter
- Hit
CTRL + H
then pressEnter
- Hit
Shift + ESC
then pressH
On MACs, you should try CTRL
+ key.
Hint: In Safari 4+ you might have to use CTRL
+ ALT
+ key
ALT+H is simply going to bring up the help menu on many browsers!
Hint: in Opera 8.51 you must press SHIFT + ESC
then press the Accesskey and then press ENTER
for all accesskeys other then H
and F
. In Opera 9.0 things gets a little bit easier: press SHIFT + ESC
, then press the Accesskey.
Hint: Firefox 2 uses ALT + Shift + Key
to avoid conflicts with built-in browser access keys. To restore old behaviour on Windows, type about:config
in address bar, find ui.key.contentAccess property and set it to 4
In Mozilla based browsers the modificator key for the browser UI and the HTML access keys can be configured through the ui.key.generalAccessKey, ui.key.chromeAccess and ui.key.contentAccess config options. Linux Users might want to use the otherwise unused “Windows key” as access key modificator by setting ui.key.contentAccess
to 8
.
