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:

  • A "skip navigation" link lets screen readers bypass the links in the header that appear on every page.
  • The "gear menu" (an image with clickable links) is replaced by a series of dropdown menus that can be navigated using the keyboard.
