Review the accessibility features and keyboard shortcuts available in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
Keyboard shortcuts make the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) development tools (Image Configuration Editor (ICE), Image Builder Wizard (IBW), and Module Designer (MOD)) more accessible for people with disabilities.

Note
The following keyboard shortcuts refer to the U.S. keyboard layout. Keys in other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a U.S. keyboard.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
For keyboard shortcuts in which you press two or more keys at the same time, the keys to press are separated by a plus sign (+). For keyboard shortcuts in which you press one key immediately followed by another key, the keys to press are separated by a comma (,).
