Keyboard Shortcuts

If you turn on Keyboard Shortcuts on the General Options page of your Engaged Settings, you can use keystrokes to move from conference to conference and topic to topic in your Conference List.

Keyboard shortcuts are disabled by default because they can interfere with some software (such as screen readers, or with Firefox's advanced option search of a page by just starting to type.) You may also have to turn off or adjust any popup blockers.

Keyboard shortcuts are ignored when you're entering a post or pseud or typing a command into the Shortcut Box. Opening new tabs may also interfere. These effects are temporary. If you don't get the action you expect, just click anywhere on the page margins to give the focus back.
