Keyboard Shortcuts

DR-WebSpyder provides some keyboard shortcuts. Some of these require a single key and can be used from either the SoftKeyboard or a physical keyboard. Others require a combination of keys or use function keys, and therefore are not available on the SoftKeyboard.

Both upper and lower case letters can be used as shortcuts.


Navigation Icon Equivalents

Each icon in the navigation bar has a keyboard alternative. Use the ALT key with one of the following letters. For example, ALT+H opens the online help while ALT+K toggles the SoftKeyboard on and off.
