7 Accessibility

OGL is designed with accessibility features to support assistive technologies, such as screen readers, as well as keyboard navigation. For more information about Oracle's commitment to accessibility, see http://oracle.com/accessibility.

Navigation & Keyboard Shortcuts

Users can navigate within OGL, transition between OGL and the host application, and access all relevant functionality using only the keyboard. Assistive technology is not required to use keyboard-only navigation. When a guide is running and a tip appears, the focus will be placed on the tip and then the Tab key may be used to navigate within the tip. Tabbing accesses the OGL Launcher as the last item on a page’s Tab order. Using the keyboard shortcut below to open and close the Help Panel is a quicker method to access OGL.

Keyboard shortcuts enable user interface actions without a mouse. Following is a list of shortcuts available for OGL and their function:

Alt+Ctrl+G	Control+Option+G	Toggle the focus from the tip on the screen to the element to which it is associated. The same shortcut is used for toggling focus on the Feedback modal. Please see below for variations for Splash tips with the target element “body”: For splash without overlay: Give focus to the first focusable element in the page For splash with overlay: Screen reader will read " Unable to switch focus from splash tip with overlay"
