Guide to Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts come in two forms: key combinations and key sequences.
...
If you are using a tablet device such as an iPad, the keyboard shortcuts work as normal, but you will require a Bluetooth keyboard for them to be practical. (TODO: confirm this actually works KMc)
Mac OS Specific
On Mac OS, to tab through Checkbox and Radio Button fields, you must change your system settings, or use the Mac shortcut CMD + F7. When this is disabled, your web browser will skip past checkboxes and radio buttons.

These shortcuts are available on almost every page in Wise Owl Legal.
TODO: include relevant browser shortcuts too for reference
| Shortcut | Action | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl + S | Save Form | Pages with a single form |
| Ctrl + T | Open a new browser Tab | Any page. This is a standard browser shortcut. |
| F5 | Refresh the page | Any page. This is a standard browser shortcut. |
| Ctrl + Tab | Jump to next tab | Any page. This is a standard browser shortcut. |
| Ctrl + W / Ctrl + F4 | Close current tab | Any page. This is a standard browser shortcut. |
| Ctrl + Shift + T | Reopen a tab just closed | Any page. This is a standard browser shorcut. |
| Ctrl + F | Find | Any page. This is a standard browser shortcut. |
| Jumps to the global search | Any page. | |
| Opens the New Contact page | Any page. | |
| Opens the New Matter page | Any page. |
To choose through checkboxes (radio buttons)
Chrome - You need to use arrows to move through the options
Firefox - You can use the Tab button to move through the options
Mac (Safari or Chrome) - Need to use arrows to move through the options
Note to Karen: I'd suggest we use sequences as much as possible rather than taking over web browser's shortcuts too much. Perhaps something like Ctrl + O, S for search (the O being 'Owl'), Ctrl+J, A to jump to contacts Additional Data tab (the J being 'Jump'). We can't use Ctrl + W because it closes the current browser window, and if it gets pressed accidently all hell will break loose! Ctrl+L (for Legal) jumps to the navigation bar in browsers, so we can probably take that over as well.
