Navigating this site without using a mouse

We have decided not to use access keys on this site. On all pages, you can move between links using the ‘Tab’ key on the keyboard. To tab through the links in the opposite direction, key ‘Shift+Tab’. Once a link is active, key ‘Enter’ to follow the link.

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts which allow users to navigate around a website without using a mouse or other pointing device.

Access keys can override keyboard shortcuts for screen readers and other assistive technology.
There is no convention on access keys, so the few sites that use them do so in whichever way they choose. Users are unlikely to spend time getting used to a particular set of access keys.

For these reasons, we do not use access keys.

Internet Explorer users: select the ‘view’ option at the top of the page, choose ‘text size’ and pick either larger or largest.
Firefox users: select the ‘view’ option at the top of the page, choose ‘text size’ (in Firefox version 3 and above choose ‘Zoom’) and use the ‘increase’ function until the text is a satisfactory size.
Chrome users: select the ‘view’ option at the top of the page and then select zoom in or zoom out until the text is a satisfactory size.

You can change the text size in other browsers in similar ways.
