Subject: input option for previous screen
No previous message | Next message →

Good Morning,

I'm assisting someone in a self-voicing application and the question came up as to whether there's a standard (or semi-standard) standard keyboard input option for when it comes to returning the screen previous. The self-voicing application is still browser based so "back" in the browser sense is still in play and would be different than returning to previous screen of information.

Closest parallel would be a like a slideshow where you want to voice the option to return to the previous slide.

Does anyone have shareable insight? I was looking a bit in TEITAC archives, but that didn't seem to yield what I was hoping for.

Thanks much in advance.

Becky

I'm probably misunderstanding your question, but I believe the
standard keyboard navigation in browsers is "Alt+left arrow" for
Windows, and "Command+left arrow" for Macs. That yields the same
results as hitting the BACK button in the browser.
