| + | <note>The accessibility shortcuts for toolbar navigation were modified in [http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor_3.6_released CKEditor 3.6], when the concept of a '''toolbar button group''' was initially introduced. On entering the toolbar you can now use the ''Tab'' and ''Shift+Tab'' shortcuts to navigate between button groups and the ''Arrow'' keys to navigate between the buttons ''within a group''. In CKEditor 3.5.x and before both ''Tab'' and ''Arrow'' keys were used to navigate between the toolbar buttons.</note> | ||
