Wikipedia Keyboard Shortcuts. Users of Wikipedia who may normally prefer to use various keyboard shortcuts while browsing the World Wide Web, may find that while browsing through the Wikipedia, some of these keyboard shortcuts no longer function as expected. This is due to a Wikipedia Keyboard Reassignment Script that normally operates while any user browses the Wikipedia. This Wikipedia Keyboard Reassignment Script is designed to enable a Wikipedia user to more quickly navigate between various Wikipedia pages, as usually related to any given article.

The Wikipedia Keyboard Reassignment Script reassigns functionality to various typical keyboard shortcut functions such as Alt+F or Alt+E, reassigning these key combinations so that instead of directly accessing the pull-down menus from the web browser as is normally the case, instead, while browsing through Wikipedia they enable the user to directly access various menu-type options directly from the Wikipedia web page. These reassigned wikipedia keyboard shortcuts are referred to as Wikipedia Keyboard Shortcuts (or WKS’s).

WKS’s perform slightly differently, depending on which particular web browser any given user may happen to be using. Below is a partial list of the various WKS’s, and the related actions they perform, based on which ever particular browser may be used.

This is a stub article... I have just submitted a question at the help desk to see if anyone there might know where the list of these shortcuts might exist. After getting whatever answer I might get from the help desk, I will complete this article and add lists of various shortcuts and how they perform using various different browsers.....
