About Keyboard Access Tips

Alan Cantor's Keyboard Access Tips is a resource for people who want to operate Windows^® more efficiently by using the keyboard more effectively. This is not a list of hotkeys. Instead, learn techniques that allow you to operate Windows-based software without a mouse, and to discover specific hotkeys as you need them. Most of these techniques are poorly-documented; many are undocumented.

Version 2 consists of eight chapters:

1. Introduction. Completely rewritten for Version 2!
2. Why good keyboard interaction is vital.
3. Tips for learning to work without a mouse.
4. 18 fundamental keyboard techniques. Expanded, with new examples!
5. Common questions (e.g., how to maximize and minimize windows, right-click on the desktop, and so on).
6. Essential hotkeys. New chapter!
7. Configuring Windows to improve keyboard access. New chapter! Undocumented techniques!
8. Additional resources. Expanded list!
