Tips for Using Shortcuts
- On Mac: Use ⌘ (Command) instead of Ctrl for keyboard shortcuts. The ⌘ key is located next to your spacebar and has the clover or loop symbol on most keyboards.
- For accessibility: All shortcuts have button and link alternatives. Use whichever method works best for you. The app is designed to be fully navigable using only a keyboard or assistive technologies.
- New to shortcuts? Start with Enter to submit your question. Once comfortable, try the others. Building keyboard habits takes time, so go at your own pace.
- Custom shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts will be expanded based on user feedback. Tell us what would help you navigate more efficiently through the Sufi Whispers experience.
- Touch devices: On mobile devices and tablets, tap gestures replace keyboard shortcuts. Long-press on some elements to reveal additional options and actions.
Troubleshooting Shortcuts
Shortcuts not working?
Some keyboard shortcuts may be intercepted by your browser or operating system. Try clicking inside the app area first to ensure it has focus, then press the shortcut again.
Conflict with browser shortcuts?
If a shortcut conflicts with your browser, you may need to use the mouse or trackpad instead. Common conflicts include Ctrl+T (new tab) and Ctrl+W (close tab). The app is designed to minimize these conflicts.
Screen reader users
Screen readers have their own keyboard navigation systems. If you use NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver, you may need to exit review mode or application mode to use app-specific shortcuts. Refer to your screen reader documentation for details.
