Keyboard Shortcuts

enaio® webclient 11.10 »

Keyboard shortcuts can be used to issue specific control commands in enaio® webclient. enaio® webclient and enaio® webclient as a desktop application support a large number of common keyboard shortcuts. This section introduces you to a few special shortcuts that apply in certain areas and that go beyond the standard shortcuts.

The following applies if you are using enaio® mobile:

enaio® mobile does not support keyboard shortcuts.

We differentiate in object lists, such as hit lists or filing locations, between marked and focused elements:

  • Focused elements

    A focused element in an object list is highlighted by a frame.

  • Marked elements

    Marked elements in an object list are highlighted in gray. Elements are marked so that actions (such as copying, subscribing, etc.) can be applied to one or more objects. If the user selects an element from an object list, the corresponding information will be displayed in the preview area (e.g., the content of the selected document is shown in the content preview).

When an object list is opened, the first line/tile is marked (line/tile is gray). Pressing the down arrow key sets the focus to the next line/tile, while the first line/tile remains marked.

Keyboard Shortcuts on iOS Devices

Please note the following when using keyboard shortcuts on devices with iOS:

  • Open context menu

    Opening the context menu via the keyboard is only possible with a special setting in iOS. Activate keyboard and mouse operation in the operating system settings. The context menu can now be opened on selected elements using Ctrl+5.

  • Safari web browser

    The following setting needs to be checked in the browser settings ('Preferences') of Safari in order to use the keyboard to access all elements in Safari. The Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage option needs to be activated.

    Depending on the version of your operating system and of Safari's browser, this setting will be called something different.

  • Voice-over screen readers

    OPTIMAL SYSTEMS recommends using voice-over screen readers on devices with iOS. To avoid problems when using the screen reader with enaio® webclient, users should first start enaio® webclient and log in to enaio® and then start the screen reader.

Using Screen Readers

When screen readers are used in reading mode, the keyboard focus is not visible at all points in the application. For this reason, OPTIMAL SYSTEMS GmbH recommends the following settings when using NVDA: The keyboard focus is always visible in "Focus mode" (sometimes also called: "Navigation mode") with the NVDA screen reader. In the settings under "Reading mode" (sometimes also called "Browse mode"), the option Position system focus automatically on highlightable elements can be activated in order to also move the keyboard focus in the screen reader's reading mode. In addition, focus highlighting can be activated and customized in both NVDA and JAWS.
