Browser	Mac OSX	Windows	UNIX/Linux
Internet Explorer	Ctrl	Alt	n/a
Mozilla Firefox 2	Ctrl	Alt + Shift	Alt + Shift
Mozilla Firefox 1	Ctrl	Alt	Alt

Note: In Internet Explorer, links will only be highlighted by shortcut keys; you will need to press Enter to proceed. Buttons, however, are activated through the shortcut.
