This topic describes keyboard shortcuts for common tasks on a SharePoint Foundation 2010 site. These keyboard shortcuts refer to the U.S. keyboard layout. Keys on other keyboard layouts may not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.
For keyboard shortcuts in which you press two or more keys simultaneously, the keys are separated by a plus sign (+). For keyboard shortcuts in which you press one key immediately followed by another key, the keys are separated by a comma (,).
Keyboard shortcuts are designed to work with supported Web browsers. The behavior of keyboard shortcuts differs depending on the browser that you use. For example, in Windows Internet Explorer, the shortcut key combination that is assigned to a hyperlink places the active focus on that hyperlink. You must then press ENTER to follow the hyperlink. In Firefox, pressing the key combination follows the link automatically.
In browsers that do not support shortcut key combinations, you may still be able to use the TAB key to move between commands.
To print this topic, press the TAB key to select Show All, press ENTER, and then press CTRL+P.

Navigating the ribbon
Change the focus without using the mouse
You can use the keyboard to work with the ribbon by moving the focus among the tabs and commands until you find the feature that you want to use. The following table lists some ways to move the keyboard focus without using the mouse.
Note: If your organization upgraded from a previous version of SharePoint, the server administrator had the option to postpone the application of the user interface (UI) changes, which include the ribbon. This may have been done as a short-term strategy to help ensure that highly customized pages still function with the new SharePoint 2010 UI.

Navigating SharePoint 2010 sites that do not have UI upgrades applied
