Keyboard Navigation Guide
You do not need a mouse to use a website. This guide shows you how to get around TekSure — and the web in general — using only your keyboard. Whether you prefer keyboard shortcuts for speed, or you rely on them for accessibility, you will find helpful tips here.
Quick Tip
When you press the Tab key, watch for a colored outline that appears around buttons and links. That outline shows you which item is currently selected. Press Enter to activate it.
General Navigation
These keyboard shortcuts work in most web browsers and on most websites. They help you move around a page without using a mouse.
Move focus to the next clickable item (link, button, or form field) on the page.
Move focus back to the previous clickable item.
Activate the item that is currently highlighted (same as clicking it).
Close a pop-up window, menu, or dialog box.
Scroll down the page, or check/uncheck a checkbox when one is focused.
Scroll up, down, left, or right on the page, or move between menu options.
Jump to the very top of the page.
Jump to the very bottom of the page.
TekSure Shortcuts
These shortcuts are built into TekSure to help you find information and get around the site faster.
Open the search box so you can look up guides, tools, or topics. On a Mac, use Cmd + K instead.
When the search box is open, use the up and down arrow keys to move through the list of results.
When a search result is highlighted, press Enter to open it.
Close the search box and return to whatever you were doing before.
Tips for Screen Readers
A screen reader is software that reads what is on the screen out loud. If you or someone you know uses a screen reader, these tips can help navigate TekSure more easily.
Jump to the next heading on the page. This is the fastest way to skim through a page and find the section you need.
Jump back to the previous heading.
Jump to the next landmark region (like the main content area, navigation bar, or footer). Landmarks help you skip large sections of a page quickly.
Jump to the next link on the page.
Jump to the next form field, such as a text box, dropdown, or button.
Open a list of all links on the page (in JAWS and NVDA screen readers). This helps you find a specific link without reading the whole page.
