Browser Keybindings

You can manage Pier using the keyboard.

For each system, the first part of each shortcut is different, it is called the access-key. You will find more information about that on Wikipedia. Here is a short list:

Operating system	Web browser	Meta-key	Comment
MacOS X	Safari 4	`Alt+Ctrl`
MacOS X	Safari 3	`Ctrl`
MacOS X	Firefox	`Ctrl`
MacOS X	Opera	`Shift+Escape`
GNU/Linux	Firefox 3	`Alt+Shift`	press ‘Enter‘ to activate the link
GNU/Linux	Firefox 2	`Alt+Shift`
GNU/Linux	Konqueror	`Ctrl`	release ‘Ctrl‘ before typing the rest of the shortcut
Windows	Internet Explorer	`Alt`	press ‘Enter‘ to activate the link
Windows	Firefox 3	`Alt+Shift`	press ‘Enter‘ to activate the link
Windows	Firefox 2	`Alt+Shift`

These shortcuts must be used in conjunction with the meta-key we talked about in the previous section. To edit a page on MacOSX with Safari for example, you will have to press CTRL+e.
