Accessibility Mode modifies the user interface so that it can driven purely by keystroke interactions. That change allows the system to be used by the visually impaired (partially blind, blind, and color blind) as well as those with impaired motor skills who interact with a virtual keyboard.

In Accessibility Mode, the following changes are made to the interface:

• The GUI component that has current focus is shown with stronger highlighting, to make it stand out.
• The profile images that show who added a note are removed from the display of a record's history. (Their name continues to identify them.)
• When sending a message or adding a note to a case, task, or any other record, the edit menu is a plain text editor, rather than an icon-driven rich text editor that has few keyboard shortcuts.
• If an object contains a "rich text" field, the form used to add a record to that object displays a plain text field, instead.

Note: Accessibility mode applies to user operations in an application. It applies to most application-design operations, but does not apply to many administrative functions, such as creating a user.

Note: Detailed information on all the accessibility features achieved using keyboard shortcuts is available here: Keyboard Interaction for Accessibility.
