Links and form inputs follow a logical order allowing you to tab through them.

2. Jump directly to the page content
3. Jump directly to the navigation menu

You can configure the links to enable accesskeys (keyboard shortcuts) that you can define yourself.

Define Accesskeys

Please enter your preferred accesskey (keyboard shortcut) for each link. You can not use multiple key combinations. Saving your accesskeys will store a cookie on your computer (see Privacy Policy).
