Keyboard Shortcuts for Oracle Guided Learning (OGL)

Navigation & Keyboard Shortcuts

Users can navigate within OGL, transition between OGL and the host application, and access all relevant functionality using only the keyboard. Assistive technology is not required to use keyboard-only navigation. When a guide is running and a tip appears, the focus will be placed on the tip and then the Tab key may be used to navigate within the tip. Tabbing accesses the OGL Launcher as the last item on a page’s Tab order. Using the keyboard shortcut below to open and close the Help Panel is a quicker method to access OGL.

Keyboard shortcuts enable user interface actions without a mouse. Following is a list of shortcuts available for OGL and their function:
