Netscape Navigator Keyboard Shortcuts
Compiled by Keren Moses([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for W3C WAI User Agent Working
Group
The following is a table of Netscape Navigator functions (or potential
functions) and their keyboard shortcuts in Macintosh, Unix, and Windows
versions. If a function exists in the browser but does not have a shortcut,
its corresponding cell is marked with an asterisk(*). If the function does
not exist, it is left blank.
Some entries contain links to special notes. The number in parentheses
following the link is the number of the relevant note.

Notes
1. In Windows, active elements can be links, text entry boxes, buttons,
checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. In Unix and Macintosh, Tab cycles
through text entry boxes only.
2. In Windows, this works for any button, since any button can gain the
focus using keyboard commands. In Unix and Macintosh, this only applies
to the "Submit" button following a text entry.
3. In Unix, the menus can not be opened with shortcut keys. However, once
a menu is opened it stays opened until it is explicitly closed, which
means that the menus can still be used with shortcut keys to some
extent. Sometimes left and right arrows move between menus and up and
down arrows move within menus, but this does not seem to work
consistently, even within a single session.
4. In Macintosh, you can not explicitly view the bookmarks menu. However,
if you choose "Edit Bookmarks", which does have a keyboard shortcut,
you can then navigate through the bookmarks and open bookmarked
documents in the current window.
5. To delete a bookmark you must first choose "Edit Bookmarks" and then
move the focus to the bookmark you want to delete.
6. In Windows, when you open a link from the history menu using Enter, the
document opens in a new window.
7. All three systems have menu items (and corresponding shortcut keys)
meant to allow the user to change the font size. However, the menu
items are consistently inactive in both Macintosh and Unix. The user
seems to be able to actually change the font sizes only in Windows.
8. It is important to allow users to set their own cascading style sheets
(css). Although Netscape does currently allow the user to override the
author's choice of foreground color, background color, font, and font
size, it does not allow some of the advanced capabilities that make
cascading style sheets so powerful. For example, a blind user may want
to save a series of style sheets which show only headers, only links,
etc., and then view the same page using some or all of these style
sheets in order to orient himself to the contents and organization of
the page before reading any of the actual page content.
