Accessibility
Access keys
Access keys function exactly like hot keys in any Microsoft application. They are intended as an accessibility aid for vision impaired users to skip directly to relevant content areas on a page. Internet Explorer (IE) has supported access keys since version 4, Netscape since version 6. The homebuyer website and older browsers do not support access key functions, but this will not effect the visual delivery of content.
To use the access keys, Windows users can navigate with the access key feature by pressing the ALT + Access key + Enter key simultaneously. All three keys need to pressed at the same time for the desired action. Using a Mac, you will need to use CTRL + Access key (not COMMAND + Access key).
