Keyboard Changes in Beta 3

  • Articolo

Hello, this is Kelly Ford, a test lead on the IE team and a big keyboard user of Internet Explorer.

In an earlier post, Aaron Sauve provided The Keyboard Lover’s Guide to IE. The IE community has given us quality feedback on our keyboard model during the beta cycle, and in beta 3, we have tried to bring more predictability and consistency with earlier IE versions in response to this feedback. In beta 3, we have made some changes in hotkey assignments, added some new hotkeys, and changed keyboard behavior on web pages back to match earlier versions of the browser in most cases.

Bringing Back Menu Hotkeys
In beta 3, we’ve reverted hotkeys so that the hotkeys used to access menus remain the same from previous versions of IE. Specifically, this means that Alt+a will once again access the classic favorites menu, Alt+t the tools menu and Alt+h the help menu.

New Hotkeys
We’ve added several new hotkeys in this beta. Here’s a list of what has been done:

Hotkey

Action

Alt+m

Activate the Home button on the Command bar

Alt+j

Activate the feeds button on the Command bar.

Alt+o

Activate the Tools button on the Command bar.

Alt+l

Activate the Help button on the Command bar.

Alt+c

Open the Favorites Center set to display favorites.

Ctrl+Shift+q

Bring up a list of open tabs.

Changes in Hotkey Behavior for the Favorites Center
We have changed the way hotkeys for favorites, history and feeds work when accessing the Favorites Center. Ctrl plus the appropriate key (i for favorites, h for history and j for feeds) will open the Favorites Center set to the view indicated by the hotkey. Ctrl+Shift and the appropriate hotkey will open the Favorites Center in pinned mode. A second press of the same Ctrl+Shift hotkey combination will close the Favorites Center when in pinned mode.

Giving Keyboard Control to Web Pages
We’ve heard from many web developers and users about keyboard behavior in IE7 with respect to web pages and applications that specify hotkeys. Beta 3 gives priority back to web pages for all keyboard assignments with the exception of Alt+d. This will set focus to the Address bar, even if you use it as an AccessKey in a web page. This will address situations where AccessKeys like Alt+p were going to the Page menu on the Command bar or Ctrl+q was opening Quick Tabs instead of marking e-mail as read in Outlook Web Access.

Staying in Touch
Feedback from the IE community is very helpful to us. Please let us know your thoughts on the keyboard behavior in beta 3. Also, we have an online help topic that lists all of our IE shortcut keys.

    "Could we have a shortcut to switch to the next tab? like Ctrl+Right Arrow?"

    You'd have to settle for Ctrl+TAB (and Ctrl+Shift+TAB for the reverse direction) for now.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha continues laughing maniacally, i have installed IE7b3, while i was viewing this RSS Feed, i tried out the new keyboard shortcut 'Alt-M' and, instead of bringing up the 'Home Menu' it instead turned the 'tick' on and off for 'Mark feed as Read'.

    Perhaps the IE team could actually ensure that they aren't using the shortcuts for other things at the same time.

    @MohdAli: I can reproduce the issue with alt+shift not switching input languages and we have a bug tracking the issue.  Thanks for the report.

    @Ray: You are correct that on the one page view of a feed alt+m does mark a feed as read.  We are discussing alternatives to that key as well as the alt+l key used on one page view to set focus on the All link.

    @John A. Bilicki III:  IE uses alt+ the key defined in the HTML as the access key for access keys on web pages.  In adding the hotkeys for IE7, we tried to keep as many keys the same as earlier versions while providing keyboard access to the new functionality.  Feedback from earlier betas told us that users wanted the menu access keys they've used from earlier versions to remain the same.

    @John S - ALT+D will give you the address bar, and it has been that way ever since IE4 (maybe earlier versions too).

    Please don't let IE become like Office was before the 2007beta, i remember in Office 2000 always having problems trying to create macros because Office had too many access keys. If IE ends up being like that then people will never use them in their webpages because IE will get all confused like...

    Win XP/SP2 Current - Office 2007 beta installed.

    1st dialog to turn on anti-phishing filter does not allow a mouse click or keyboard entry to enter data. Canceling the install - error message reads that the program is awaiting a response from the user. Because the keyboard and mouse are locked with respect to that anti-phishing dialog were are at a catch-22. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Beta 2 performed flawlessly.

    Since I regularly use shift+alt to change my input languages, I'm going to hold off downloading this for now. Was so looking forward to this too...

    Anyway, what I think should've been done ('cause it looks like it wasn't) was to make a list of all existing shortcuts before creating all those new ones.

    Some anglocentrism seems to have crept into the keyboard shortcuts, and apparently inadvertently:if I type ALT+23(anything) the favourites thingy pops up - and if I type ALT+24(anything) the cursor jumps to the address bar. This is unfortunate, since it prevents me from typing accented vowels common in many languages.

    O..k... I assume this is what's messed with my umlauts - I live in Ireland, and use a local keyboard, but I type lots of Finnish as well, and as there are no Scandinavian umlauts on an Irish keyboard, I'm used to making them like this:

    å = Alt + 134
    ä = Alt + 132
    ö = Alt + 148

    Å = Alt + 143
    Ä = Alt + 142
    Ö = Alt + 153

    After installing Beta 3, I find these umlauts are not working in IE anymore. Instead, I might get other menus and such..

    If anyone has ideas on how to get my umlauts back, please follow my link and leave a comment on my related blog topic. I've had these umlauts in my finger memory for several years, so if I can't get them working in IE again (with the same number combos), I'm going to have to switch to another browser, which I wouldn't really want to do.

    Keyboard shortcuts for various UI tasks are very useful. But when I'm browsing, most of my time is spent within the web page itself and IE offers very limited keyboard navigation of a webpage.

    I can tab through links in the page, in the order they are specified in the html. This is very awkward to use. I might have scrolled to the bottom of the page and see a link I want to follow. Hitting "tab" takes me right back to the top of the page and the first link. Aargh!

    I really like Opera's approach, whereby shift and the arrow keys allow you to move around the links currently visible within the browser's viewport.

    IE is really awkward to use for those of us who struggle to use a pointing device. More keyboard support for in-page navigation would be an absolute godsend.

    I don't know where else to submit these suggestions so I'll stick them here:

    1. I'd like to open multiple links in seperate tabs at once. I have a Link folder with all my webmail accounts, another for all my morning news reading, etc. I want to open each group at once.

    2. Firefox page search is still much more convenient that IE. You should add that.

    3. Why doesn't the address bar disappear in full screen mode? I'm probably doing something wrong. It used to work.

    1.) As EricLaw has said, there are registry settings to handle this (something power users can deal with)

    2.) I'd like some proof of this..

    3.) I can select chunks just fine. Are you sure you know how Windows mouse handling works?

    4.) I like that it does this.

    5.) Can you view the source in a manner that quickly allows you to edit it when you're working on your own site? No, because Firefox is still stuck in the 1950s, pre-computer area when documents (paper documents that is) were read only. IE on the other hand opens it in notepad by default, which allows me to quickly make changes to my website and view them in IE.

    6.) It's your opinion that the FF dev bar is the best. I like the IE bar.

    7.) I do have access to the best debugger, it's called Visual Studio .NET. Since IE uses ActiveScript (something you complain about) I can use any ActiveScript capable debugger including VS.NET, which is, almost without question, the best IDE available.

    8.) Why would I want it to? Greasemonkey relies on websites being static content. Guess what? They change! You add code to a website, website changes, your code stops working. Yeah sounds great!

    9.) Seems to work just fine without it. I've used dozens of great webapps.

    10.) Firefox has a reputation as a safe browser? Huh, what are all those security updates they keep releasing all about? You might hate ActiveX and ActiveScripting, and you can go turn them off if you like. I like both features myself. ActiveX is a great technology when you build intranet based web apps, something FF just can't match.

    It's all a matter of opinion. The sooner you realize that, the less dumb you'll sound when you make such vast over generalizations.

    I recently updated to Internet Explorer Beta 3... and ever since then my website has been impossible to update. The words and text boxes and such are scattered, usually at the bottom of the screen, beyond where the scroll bar can take me.

    This is quite disappointing. Are the Office Live team and IE 7 team aware of this/planning to work it out sometime soon? Thanks again, since Mozilla isn't supported yet, I guess I have no choice but to rollback IE which is definitely sad.

    Every single time I open the site editor, or make a change to my page and reload it, I have to maximize and restore the windows again and again to make it so the text and zones lineup and are not offscreen. This is so annoying, as it means to update one subspage of the website the screen can need to be maximized and toyed with over 20 times in 10 mins.

    Eric-

    I'm intersted in the arguments against including full per-site security options.

    And one other extra.  That lovely new security bar that appears every now and then when a site wants to install something is nice, but it isn't very informative.  Providing basic detail on the feature is nice, but for those who want technical knowledge of exactly what the site is trying to do, the "explain" option just doesn't cut it.  Any way you could add a "advanced details" option that provides greater detail than "the site is trying to do something bad"?  I exxagerate, but my point is that if the bar suddenly pops up saying "your security settings are low, click here to fix them", I would like to know exactly what it intends on changing.

    I'm surprised you use "home" as often as you do.  Personally my home page is about:blank to speed up browser load time by a large margin (I do this in any browser I use as default behavior, I don't have a single page I can think of that I always want displayed).  I use history far more than "home".  Also, there are two control buttons.  It doesn't seem that much of a stretch to use ctrl-home with the left control button and the home key.

    Inheritance and groups make sense, after all it would be great if sites within a certain domain also had, by default, the settings I applied to the "root" page.  I can see the problem there.  Roaming mechanisms...  Hmm, well the only thing I would ever need would be to "export" it as a file that I could just e-mail as an attachment to myself and load on another machine (same as I do with my bookmarks), but I can see businesses wanting a wide distribution model.  I'm sure that could come later though.  And yeah, if in a business setting, just make such per site alterations an "administrator level" thing.  That would be great for other security reasons anyway (in an ideal situation where I didn't always run an admin account as my main account).  Don't want undesired software doing things to that little list.

    It is very true that most users wouldn't know what on earth they just got themselves into.  That's why such a thing would basically be in addition to the existing system as opposed to replacing it outright, with the advanced one overriding any settings in the normal "catagory" system.  Another "simple and advanced" menu alternative.  The vast majority of users really don't even know about the existance of the security settings you already have, from my own experience trying to fix various user's machines.

    I'm glad you are considering it and I hope you are able to work it in there, because of all the security options I'd love to have, that is at the very top of my list of "desirables".

    As a semantics thing, I much prefer "bookmarks" to the phrase "favorites".  I bookmark a number of sites with content I would hardly consider "my favorite".  This is VERY minor, I'm just saying that when I bookmark a news story about deaths in Iran, that's not a "favorite" to me, and probably not most people, unless they happen to enjoy human suffering.

    Oh yes, I thought I'd add one note.  If you suddenly changed "favorites" to "bookmarks", I doubt that even one user would be completely lost as to what on earth happened to their interweby shortcuts.

    I tend to for some reason put my points in order from least to greatest, I have to stop doing that. Lack of an intuitive home keyboard shortcut is irritating but I probably used the wrong language to describe my level of irritation. ;) Performance of the application in general is my biggest concern by far.

    I think all of my shortcut key navigation concerns would be aleviated if I could simply customize the keyboard navigation myself via a Customize... menu. Then there's nothing for me or anyone to complain about, we could just remap. :) (and while we're at it, roam my settings too so I don't have to reconfigure every time! :)

    And though I may not be a full-blown, 50 certificationed, Ph.D. power user, I cut my teeth on an Apple II, wore DOS for diapers, and schooled on Windows 95 and Red Hat Linux. Firefox has some compelling features, as does Opera. If you want a clone, go with Firefox. I'm not going to flame you or Microsoft over that.

    But as for me and my house, we shall use IE.

    I'm not much of an hotkey user. I like the way the keys are layed out in office 2007. When you push alt it lists the different keys in relation to the menus. For people that don't use them or would like to learn them that may be a good way to start.

    Can anyone help resolve the issue of losing the ALT + 132, 134, 142 etc. shortcuts for Swedish and other characters in IE7 Beta 3?

    all the curios people that wandered how Windows Vista Ultimate was going to look and also skipped the warning of not putting Vista on there primary computer(s) who later discovered that Microsoft Will not support the downloaded beta version nor, the CD ver. of vista because windows will deactivate it next year (evn though the beta is better than Win XP sp1 and 2)was just wandering if 1. will you (Microsoft)make another that will be supported next summer/ June for the customers and the people that bypassed your warning so the beta testers won't feel left out of the real features that will be aquired in the actual vista so we the people who have the beta won't sit next to a deactivated computer while the consumers sit next to something that the beta testers been wanting to get there hands on for 2 yrs ( it was announced in 05 and will come out in the summer of 07) and 2. will the ie7 be on the Win. Vista also since the IE7 thing originated off of the beta (Vista)because you guys are leaving the curios out probably wanting the people to stop being curios and be satisfied with what we already have telling us to stop being curios of how the next gen. OS is going to look on the web and on our desktop stopping us from getting the next os and its latest iexplorer. if i don't see the latest internet explorer for vista X86 or X64 than this confirms that this is what you're telling me

    I'm not entirely sure what most of your post was asking, but yes, Windows Vista (both x86 and x64) have IE7 built-in.

    @david: We have a hotkey to go to your home page today.  This is alt+home.  I realize you are asking for ctrl+h but did at least want to let you know about the key we have today.

    @Marcus: The bug around not being able to enter characters with alt+numpad combinations has been fixed in internal builds.  I don't know of a solution that will help you with beta 3 to work around this bug.

    I am running IE 7 Beta 3, but right clicking on a link does not provide the "Open in new tab" option. Is this a bug? Is there a work-around?

    Am I the only one for whom ALT-F4 stopped working? I installed the German IE7 beta 3 today. Beta 2 had been uninstalled before. Whenever I press ALT-F4 the menu of the home button in the toolbar drops down, but the IE window doesn't close. This worked fine in beta 2. (btw, pressing ALT-F3 drops down the print menu in the toolbar. I don't know what happened in beta 2.).

    @ KFord.  Phew!  I can wait.  Nice to read that it is considered a bug and that it has been fixed.  Thanks for coming back to me.

    @Sam Redman: Typically, when the "Open in tab" option is missing, it's because you have an older non-IE7-aware version of a toolbar (e.g. MSN or Google) that overrides the menu.  If you start IE in no-addons mode, do you find the problem goes away?

    Can IE7 be set up so that after right clicking on a link, pressing 't' opens it in a new tab, and 'w' opens it in a new window, a la Firefox?
