Access Keys

For much faster navigation and formatting you can use access keys. 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 + H
Hit CTRL + H
Hit ALT + H then press Enter
Hit CTRL + H then press Enter
Hit Shift + ESC then press H

BTW: Do your self a favour and get a Mozilla based browser like Firefox.

ALT+H is simply going to bring up the help menu on many browsers!

General Keys

These keys are always available in DokuWiki.

`E`	opens the current page in edit mode
`V`	opens the current page in view mode (if Button “View Pagesource” is displayed)
`O`	shows the old revisions of the current page
`R`	shows the recent changes
`F`	sets the cursor to the search field
`H`	opens the startpage
`X`	opens the index page

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.
