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 (OS X) it's CTRL + ⌥ Opt 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.
How to discover your working accesskeys?
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.
