Using Google.com With Parkinson's
I was surfing around this mornng and came upon this site:
Which looks to be a place where Google introduces new features on the site. I was particularly interested in seeing that they are instituting keyboard shortcuts which minimize the need for clicking your mouse as much.
Here are the shortcuts they mention on this page, these seem the most useful to people with Parkinson's who have motor control difficulties and welcome any opportunity to avaid using the mouse and stick to the more stationary keyboard.
Thanks Google!
Key Action
J Selects the next result.
K Selects the previous result.
O Opens the selected result.
/ Puts the cursor in the search box.
Note - a couple of these keyboard tricks don't transfer on this page's layout due to it being in html-type language. Check out the site for fuul details.
