Keyboard input
Required: Following the guidelines for keyboard input is mandatory.
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that, when pressed together, trigger a specific action or command. These shortcuts are designed to enhance efficiency by allowing users to perform tasks quickly without relying on mouse clicks or navigating through menus.
Keyboard shortcuts are important, especially for expert users, as they make their day-to-day tasks productive and streamlined. Other advantages for expert users could be:
- Increased speed and efficiency
- Minimal disruption
- Increased productivity, with the allowance of multi-tasking
- Reduced hand movement
In CET it is possible to change the keyboard shortcuts and create custom ones. It is important to think about this when it comes to the overall design and when introducing new functionality.
