Using the Keyboard Shortcuts
Do Stuff Without Reaching for a Mouse! To allow for faster navigation, I have set a small number of keyboard shortcuts which you can use as outlined in the following table.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ~ | Home Page - This key is on the top left of most keyboards |
| ? | This page - keyboard help |
| s | Site Map - quickly jump to pages |
| Left Arrow Right Arrow | On pages with larger photo galleries, you can scroll forward or backward through different “pages” of the photo gallery. You can also toggle the front and back of record covers in overlays. |
| Up Arrow | Show/hide navigation for the current section (e.g. Label) |
| h, l, n, e, r, t | Open a Keyboard Menu for a section (home, label, news, etc, records, timeline).Important: If you enable “Single Key Shortcuts” in your browser (such as r for the Reader), the letter shortcuts may not work. Try adding shift to the key. |
| alt+. | Open the Search Form to search for terms, phrases and songs in this site. |
| alt+, | Search Again - when you don’t find what you’re looking for. |
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 | Show a larger (color) version of a photo on the page. Look for the number in the caption under the photo. N.B. 0 is for 10Select a page to view from keyboard menu |
