Notes & feedback
Please note that some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.
These access key assignments are based on research into best practice across the web (in an attempt to be consistent with other sites’ access keys), and an understanding of the key global navigation requirements of Infrae site users.
If you have any comments on how the Infrae sites could make better use of access keys, please email your feedback to info at infrae com.
