You can use the keyboard to access the main menu selections. Hold down the Alt key and press:
- 1 - NRO home
- 2 - Welcome
- 3 - Search catalogue
- 4 - Set searches
- 5 - Authority Files
- 6 - Help
- 7 - Services
- 8 - E-mail us
This will highlight the link to the menu. Press the Return key to activate it and open the page. These keyboard short-cuts are designed to allow access to NROCAT pages only.
Other Useful Keys
- Page Up/Down - scrolls up/down one 'screen' at a time
- Ctrl + Page Up/Down - goes to the top/bottom of the page
- Up/Down arrow buttons - scrolls up/down one line at a time
- Ctrl+P - prints the details on the current page
Special Cases
Backspace will take you back to the previous page of your search results but not to the search page itself.
Using the Tab key will usually take you through all the hypertext links on the page one by one starting from the NROCAT icon at the top left of the screen or the address bar in your browser, if displayed, with the following exceptions:
- in search pages the Tab starts from the top-most field and moves down to the next one and so on
- in TreeView Tab will select the document icon of the next record whether it is in the branch below or next in the list
Holding down the Shift key and pressing Tab reverses the direction.
