Keyboard-only navigation

This website allows visitors to navigate using only the keyboard. Navigation works by pressing the Tab key repeatedly. Every keypress brings the focus to a next element, ie. link or a button. 

Zooming in and out
There are three main ways to zoom in on a webpage - using your browser built-in capabilities, using your OS built-in capabilities, or installing a special plug-in for the browser. Our recommendation is to use the easiest way - browser built-in zoom.

With a browser
All popular browsers allow zooming in and out by pressing the Ctrl (Cmd in OS X) and + or - keys. Or alternatively hold down the Ctrl key and scroll up or down with the mouse.

In your operating system
Windows 7 includes “Magnifier”, a program that allows zooming. Press the “Start” menu and type “Magnifier” (first letters should do it) and press Enter. A small overlay window appears that can be moved around with the mouse and zooms everything in it.

In Windows XP, go Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > Magnifier.

In Apple computers, go Apple menu > System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access) > Zoom.

Browser plug-ins
Browsers have plug-ins that extend the zooming capabilities. For example, “Zoom Page” for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-page/ opens in a new tab, “AutoZoom” for Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autozoom.
