Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-23 15:51:34 EST 
In documentation, need to explain all keyboard access functionality from the 
ground up, including:
- context menu key (on some keyboards)
- use of mnemonics
- standard OS accelerators: SHIFT+F10, F10, ALT, ALT+F4, etc.
- all our global accelerators
- view- and editor-specific accelerators

Doc: use CTRL+TAB, CTRL+SHIFT+TAB when in editor, or other widget which uses 
TAB itself.  Need to clarify whether it's acceptible for the editor to use 
SHIFT+TAB.

Accessibility Tips web page is underway. Should this also be in the doc?
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-03-06 14:14:10 EST 
End user doc should have info on accessibility for users, not developers.
The platform development docs could have developer-targetted accessibility 
guidelines, but it's probably better to put this on the eclipse.org web pages 
anyway.
