Keyboard input and navigation

Keyboard input
The Content Manager OnDemand clients can be operated using only the keyboard. Menu items and controls provide access keys that allow users to activate a control or select a menu item directly from the keyboard. These keys are self-documenting, in that the access keys are underlined on the control or menu where they appear.
Keyboard focus
In Windows-based systems, the position of the keyboard focus is highlighted, indicating which area of the window is active and where the user's keystrokes will have an effect.

Features for accessible display

The clients have a number of features that enhance the user interface and improve accessibility for users with low vision. These enhancements include support for high-contrast settings and customizable font properties.
High-contrast mode
The clients support the high-contrast-mode option that is provided by the operating system. This feature assists users who require a higher degree of contrast between background and foreground colors.
Font settings
In Windows-based systems, you can specify display settings that determine the color, size, and font for the text in menus and dialog windows. The client allows you to select the font for the document list.
Non-dependence on color
You do not need to distinguish between colors in order to use any function of this product.
Alternative alert cues
In Windows-based systems, the SoundSentry feature can be used to provide visual feedback for general application and system alerts such as warning beeps.
Compatibility with assistive technologies
The clients are compatible with screen reader applications such as Narrator and Via Voice. The clients have properties required for these accessibility applications to make onscreen information available to visually impaired users.

Fully accessible alternatives for the line data viewer and the AFP plug-in
