XWEB: Keyboard Shortcuts are Not Supported in OWA Client

ID: Q190720

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, versions 5.5 and 5.5 Service Pack 1

SYMPTOMS

Keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt+K which performs the Check Name function in the Outlook Client, are not supported in the Outlook Web Access Client.

CAUSE

This is by design. Most JavaScript-aware browsers may be used as Outlook Web Access Clients. Keyboard shortcuts are difficult to implement because they may conflict with an existing browser's keyboard shortcut.
