So, for example, we don't -think that most toolbar controls should be part of the Tab traversal. - -On the other hand, we don't believe that there should be a separate -"accessibility mode" that enables more keyboard access. We don't believe that -users should be segregated; rather, we should strive to find a balance where -most users will only use the keyboard shortcuts they choose to learn, while -users who rely completely on their keyboard will find the interface easy to -navigate without memorizing a separate shortcut for every single command. - -### Keyboard Navigation and Shortcuts - -Here are the keyboard shortcuts that help make Chrome accessible to users who -need full keyboard access. - -First, there are keys to focus each of the toolbars: - -* **Shift+Alt+T**: Main Toolbar (contains Back, Forward, Reload, etc) -* **Shift+Alt+B**: Bookmarks Toolbar - -In addition, pressing **F6** or **Shift+F6** now switches to the next pane, with -the available panes in Chrome being: - -* The web content area (which displays the web page itself) - - Main Toolbar - - Bookmarks Toolbar - -Also, pressing **Alt** or **F10** focuses the Chromium menu button in the -toolbar, since these keys are normally used to focus the menu bar in a typical -Windows application. - -#### Toolbar Navigation - -While in a toolbar, you can press **Tab**, **Shift+Tab**, **Home** (move to -first enabled control) and **End** (move to last enabled control) to navigate to -different controls in the toolbar. You can also use the **Left Arrow** and -**Right Arrow** keys, except notably when the Location Bar / Omnibox has focus, -because then those keys are used for text editing. (This is the same behavior as -in other Windows applications, like Microsoft Excel.) - -Controls can be activated using either **Space** or **Enter** (menu buttons also -support **Down Arrow** to open menu, **Esc** to close menu). Many controls also -have a context menu (a right-click menu), which can be activated using the -**Context Menu** key on your keyboard, or by pressing **Shift+F10**. - -There is one aspect of toolbar keyboard navigation that is potentially -confusing: the Location Bar is normally part of the Tab order, but having focus -in the Location Bar doesn't necessarily mean that the entire toolbar is the -active pane. In a sense, the Location Bar is a special control that is part of -the tab order of several panes. To clarify: - -These keystrokes focus the Location Bar (but do not set focus to the Toolbar -pane): - -* Tabbing to the Location Bar from the web content. -* **Ctrl+L** -* **Alt+D** - -These keystrokes set focus to the Toolbar pane: - -* **F6** (focuses the Location Bar) -* **Alt+Shift+T** (focuses the leftmost enabled control of the Main - Toolbar) -* **Alt** (focuses the page menu) -* **F10** (focuses the page menu) - -The reason for this is to create minimal confusion for users who do not need -keyboard access. Users who primarily use the mouse are very unlikely to use -**F6**, so it's unlikely they will ever end up focusing various controls in the -toolbar by accident. On the other hand, users who rely on full keyboard access -are used to using **F6** to switch between window panes (e.g. in Windows -Explorer), so this should be a very easy shortcut to remember. - -[Chrome extensions](https://chrome.google.com/extensions) can install [Page -Actions and Browser -Actions](http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=154007) in -the main toolbar. These are all fully accessible using these keystrokes. Don't -forget to try the **Context Menu** key for Page Actions and Browser Actions. - -The following keys can be used to access the menus: - -* **Alt** or **F10 or Alt+F** puts focus on the Chromium menu button - - this corresponds to the key most commonly used to focus the first - menu in the menu bar in Windows applications. - -In addition, the following keys can be used to switch tabs, in addition to the -shortcuts in the menus: - -* **Ctrl+1** through **Ctrl+8** switches to the tab at the specified - position number on the tab strip. -* **Ctrl+9** switches to the last tab. -* **Ctrl+Shift+Tab** or **Ctrl+PgUp** switches to the previous tab. -* **Ctrl+Tab** or **Ctrl+PgDown** switches to the next tab. -* **Ctrl+W** or **Ctrl+F4** closes the current tab. -* **ALT-F4** quits the application. - -Want more information?
