Keyboard Shortcuts in Wise Owl Legal

To facilitate the fastest data entry, a variety of keyboard shortcuts are provided throughout Wise Owl Legal.

As much as possible, we try not to interfere with your default web browser's keyboard shortcuts.  

A printable reference card is also available. 

Guide to Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts come in two forms: key combinations and key sequences.

Some examples of combinations:

• Ctrl + S - Control and 's' together

• Alt + Shift + R - Alt, Shift and 'r' all together

Some examples of key sequences:

• a,b = 'a' then 'b'  

• Ctrl + K, t = Control and 'k' together, then 't'

On Macintosh computers, the Ctrl key is the same as the Command key.

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.
 

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.
