Accessibility
Accessibility is enhanced by the use of:
■ Keyboard shortcuts
■ Dialog boxes
Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are possible using accelerators and mnemonics.
Accelerators
Accelerators are key combinations that provide shortcut access to GUI
functions. They allow you to use a computer from the keyboard, rather than
using the mouse. Accelerators are sometimes a quicker way of getting to a
command, especially for the experienced user or a user who is disabled and is
unable to manipulate a mouse or to press more than one key at the same time.
Accelerator keys are either a single keystroke or two or more keystrokes that
can be pressed in succession (rather than holding them simultaneously). Some
users are unable to use a mouse, and some users prefer to use the keyboard
rather than a mouse.
