What keyboard shortcuts are available in the webtext?

Navigate pages, control Read to Me, and work with notes using shortcuts

Written by Alyssa

You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between pages in the webtext, control Read to Me, and manage notes.

Webtext page navigation

Page navigation shortcuts work just like the Back and Next buttons at the bottom of a webtext page. If a page doesn’t have a Back or Next button, the corresponding shortcut isn’t available.

When Read to Me is enabled, you can use these shortcuts to control playback and voice speed.

When you select a portion of text, a toolbar will appear with options to highlight the text or add a note. You can use these shortcuts to quickly move focus to the toolbar, jump to the top note on the page, or save notes after editing them.
