ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:Keyboard shortcuts

ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ‌ରୁ

The Vector skin, which is the default on Wikipedia, contains many keyboard shortcuts. You can use them to access certain features of Wikipedia more quickly.

Keyboard shortcuts, in the way they are implemented on Wikipedia, are useful for some users with disabilities. At the same time, they are bothersome for some screen reader users because it interferes with the shortcuts of their screen reader. The best solution would be to have customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Accessibility review of these access keys (august 2010)

[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

Keyboard shortcuts (access keys) are a complicated matter. This feature, in its current implementations was temporarily abandoned in WCAG 2.0, notably because it conflicts with the shortcuts of assistive technologies. Usage of access keys is currently discouraged in the online contents and applications.

But presence of access keys is also an Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) requirement - the ATAG approach is particularly relevant in Wikipedia's case - where this matter is looked into thoroughly. In particular, ATAG requires the possibility to customize shortcuts. This should be requested in bugzilla:477.

Currently, their presence in Wikipedia's interface can be problematic for some users and can be useful for others. But more importantly, it misleads developers into thinking that the interface is keyboard accessible. Requirements that needs to be fulfilled in order to be keyboard accessible are not related to keyboard shortcuts (G90, F42, SCR35, F58, F61).

Display access keys

[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]

The following entry in your user CSS file (e.g., User:Example/vector.css) will display access keys before links that have them.

This does not work in Internet Explorer versions lower than 8.0, since they don't support the :before CSS selector.

a[accesskey]:before {
    content: " " attr(accesskey) " ";
    text-transform: uppercase;
    white-space: pre;
    border: thin solid;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    text-decoration: underline overline;
    margin-right: 0.5ex;
}

Changing and disabling access keys

[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]
See also the removeAccessKeys script talk page. It will explain yet another way.

A list of the shortcut keys can be found here: User:Matt B./monobook.js

To disable or modify these access keys, add the code near the bottom of your own skin file (e.g., User:Example/vector.css). Access keys are case-sensitive.

Some common problematic access keys include:

d (delete page):

 /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
ta['ca-delete'] = new Array(,"Delete this page"); /*delete*/

e (edit page):

 /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
 ta['ca-edit'] = new Array('','Edit this page');

f ("find"/go to search box):

 /* disable Wikipedia access keys/keyboard shortcuts */
 ta['search'] = new Array('','Search this wiki');
