Accessibility

This page summarises the keyboard shortcuts for operating primedocs without a mouse — both in the primedocs Desktop client and in the Office add-ins.

note

The primedocs parameter AccessibilityFocusNonInteractiveElements lets non-interactive elements (e.g. text elements in the document parameters) be focused via the keyboard, making them easier to capture with screen-reader software. For more information, see the Client installation.
