Access Keys

Access keys function exactly like hot keys in any Microsoft application. They are intended as an accessibility aid for vision impaired users to skip directly to relevant content areas on a page. Older browsers do not support access key functions, but this will not affect the visual delivery of content. To use the access keys on the Housing Appeals Committee website:

  • Windows users can navigate with the access key feature by typing ALT+Access key followed by Return.
  • Using a Mac, you will need to use CTRL+Access key (not COMMAND+Access key, which can produce undesirable effects).
  • Firefox users can navigate with access keys by typing Shift+Alt+Access key

S = Skip to content
1 = Home
3 = Sitemap
4 = Search (either the input or link)
7 = Contact Us
9 = Feedback
