Sharon's Shortcuts - IT Training without the Mouse

[sahlyons]

Keyboard shortcuts enable users to quickly navigate and interact with a PC without using a mouse. Sharon's Shortcuts is a free online resource anyone who loves to use keyboard shortcuts, whether out of choice or necessity. The site is primarily aimed at helping people with a vision impairment using screen readers, such as NVDA or JAWS. But all the shortcuts are standard, so any PC user can benefit from this handy resource.

This site covers these general tasks:

• File Management
• Outlook Emails
• Excel Spreadsheets
• Word Documents

The step-by-step instructions are broken down into easily digested chunks of information, suitable for beginners and advanced users.

Sign up to the mailing list and get a free list of most commonly used shortcuts. You will also receive the Shortcut of the Week - a sentence or two covering quick tips such as Pasting Options or Increasing and Decreasing Text Size. Don't worry if you have missed the previous Shortcut of the Week - you can view them on the Key Tips section.

The general audience that this site will hopefully bring will also be made more aware of accessing a PC with just the keys. This will encourage PC users to expect more access with the keyboard and, in turn, bring more of this access into development of new and updated applications.
