Using Screen Readers

A screen reader is a software application that identifies and interprets textual content on the UI. A screen reader reads this content to the user through an audio function.

Context

ABAP Development Tools (ADT) provides features for working efficiently with a screen reader. Eclipse also provides shortcuts for many operations.

To display the list of available shortcuts, perform the following steps:

Procedure

To open a window showing a list of all shortcuts that are currently active, choose Ctrl Shift L.

Note

Usually this list is too long to read through all of the shortcuts.
To open the Keys Preference page, choose the same shorcut again.
Here the cursor is automatically positioned on a filter field.
Search for the command you are looking for.

Note

If you do not find a shortcut for a particular command, you can define your own shortcut in this Preference page. To do this, select the command in the Command list. In the Binding entry field, position the cursor and choose the desired shortcut on the keyboard. Choose Ok to apply the new shortcut.
