Keyboard help
Accessible Database Manager is built to work fully with a keyboard, screen reader, and braille display.
Single-key shortcuts
These work anywhere except while typing in a field, and can be switched off in Settings:
- / — jump to the search box on the current page
- n — add a record (when viewing a database you can write to)
- ? — open this help page
Getting around
- Press Tab to move to the next control and Shift+Tab to move back.
- The first link on every page, Skip to main content, jumps past the menu.
- Use your screen reader's landmark or heading commands to jump between the banner, navigation, main content, and footer regions.
- Every page has one main heading (level 1) and sections use headings in order.
Working with tables of records
- Record lists are real HTML tables with row and column headers, so table navigation commands announce the field name with each value.
- The first column is the record's title (the primary field) and links to the full record.
- Use the search box above a table to filter records.
Forms
- Required fields are marked and announced as required.
- If something is wrong, the error message is linked to the field and read out; focus moves to the first problem.
- Choice fields with several options are grouped so their label is announced.
Display preferences
On the Settings page you can switch between light, dark, and high-contrast themes, and choose a larger text size. These preferences are saved to your account.
