Keyboard shortcuts and accessibility
primedocs Desktop and the Office COM add-ins can be operated without a mouse. This page lists the keyboard shortcuts for daily work. Shortcuts of the administrative views (template management, user management, settings) are under Administration keyboard shortcuts.
note
With the primedocs parameter AccessibilityFocusNonInteractiveElements, non-interactive elements can also be focused by keyboard so that screen readers pick them up. Setup is done by the administration (client installation).
