What is Sharon's Shortcuts?
Sharon's Shortcuts is an educational resource for people who primarily use
keyboard shortcuts to access a computer. The site contains different
sections covering common tasks carried out using a PC. All the keyboard
shortcuts mentioned in this site are standard, Windows shortcuts that anyone
can use (unless stated otherwise).
Background
Sharon's Shortcuts was born out of the monthly NCBI Technology Podcast
<https://www.ncbi.ie/category/technologypodcast/> . Sharon's Shortcuts is a
short slot on this podcast (about 20 minutes long) which covers different
aspects of using a computer with keyboard shortcuts, instead of the mouse.
This lends itself well to people with a vision impairment, who use screen
readers to access a PC because the mouse is usually too visual to operate
effectively.
The Website came about partly due to listeners to the podcast requesting
that the Sharon's Shortcuts be made available accompanied by a list of
shortcuts for each episode. This can be found on the Pocket Podcast
<http://sharons-shortcuts.ie/pocket-podcasts/> page of this Website.
Purpose
The Website is designed as a resource for screen reader users in Ireland and
beyond. On the Web today, there are plenty of tutorials and step by step
instructions for using a PC, but they are all mouse-based. This Website
gives step by step instructions on using a PC without the mouse.
It is also for anyone who loves keyboard shortcuts! Like me!!
