Keyboard and accessibility

Hostux.page has no keyboard shortcuts of its own: everything relies on the browser’s usual keys.

From the keyboard

Key	Effect
Tab, Shift + Tab	Move to the next or previous control
Enter	Follow a link, press a button
Space	Press a button, tick a checkbox
Esc	Close a window or the search suggestions
↑ ↓	Pick a link suggested by the search
← →	Move between tabs in the Wallpapers window

Links, groups and tasks can also be moved without a mouse: in Organise mode of the Links window, the ↑ ↓ arrows are buttons; in Local tasks, use Move up and Move down.

In Settings, Search settings filters the sections by word.

Reading

• The browser’s zoom enlarges the whole page; the time and date also have their own size (see Clock).
• The Highly legible (Atkinson Hyperlegible) font tells similar characters apart better (see Appearance).
• On a busy photo, Darken the wallpaper, Automatic contrast, panel opacity or a plain colour help readability (see Wallpapers).
• The page follows the system’s reduced-motion preference.
• For a wallpaper that never moves, set Automatic change to Never.

In this documentation

Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on a Mac) opens the search. Theme and language are switched at the top of the page; on a small screen, the menu gives access to the sections. Screenshots link to the full-size image.
