Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such
as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully.
Instead of using your mouse to navigate the Web 2.0 On-Demand Workspace, you
can use the keyboard or some special help software which is designed to improve
accessibility .
Web 2.0 accessibility features include mnemonics for all menu items and
most elements (service list, tap, row, column, and so on) as well as shortcut
keys for a number of the menu items. Along with the use of standard keyboard
navigation such as use of the tab, arrow, Enter, and spacebar keys, these
accessibility features enable mouseless navigation through the entire interface.
The web 2.0 workspace also includes tool tip help for most interface elements.
The following table contains each menu item on the Web 2.0 Workspace that
has a corresponding shortcut key (with the mnemonic also provided), the equivalent
keystrokes to perform that menu item's function, and a description of the
function, organized by the menus on the menu bar.
