Keyboard Shortcuts

The following keyboard shortcuts work in the Argos Web Viewer, and have been tested on a Windows PC in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. You may have different results using other platforms or browsers.

Many of the keyboard shortcuts supported by the Web Viewer use AccessKeys, which are a combination of a control character and a shortcut. This avoids any conflict with keyboard text entry when filling in dashboard forms. AccessKeys are implemented differently in different browsers. For example:

Shortcut Description
AccessKey: X Open Explorer tab
AccessKey: S Open Shortcut tab
AccessKey: R Open Recent tab
AccessKey: # Navigate to a specific folder in the breadcrumb trail. For example, supposing you are several levels deep in the folder tree, pressing AccessKey+1 takes you to the root folder; AccessKey+2 takes you to the folder that resides in the root folder; AccessKey+3 takes you to the next folder in the breadcrumb trail; and so on.
