Accessibility information

The IPT Administration Client graphical user interface (GUI) has been built with accessibility in mind. It is straightforward to perform all of the available functions without using a mouse, by using keyboard equivalents. We can navigate round the screen by using Tab, Shift+Tab, Ctrl+Tab, and the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow keys in the standard manner. We can achieve the equivalent to clicking buttons first selecting the button and then pressing Enter.

We can reach menu options either by combinations of Tab and Arrow keys or by using the accelerator keys, which are available for all the options. For example, we can close the GUI by selecting first Alt+f, then Alt+q (File->Quit). When you reach a menu item, we can activate it by using Enter.

We can use the Arrow keys to navigate around the tree. In particular, we can use the Right and Left arrow keys to open or close an MQIPT node, allowing you to show or hide the routes.

We can use the Spacebar key to change the state of selected checkboxes. We can use the Enter key to select fields for editing.
