EMu 9.1 Ribbon Navigation with Keystrokes

This EMu help page can help familiarize yourself with the new module window.

To navigate the Ribbon to a desired set of tabs (File, Home, Edit, View, Tools, Catalogue, Field, What’s This) press Alt. It will highlight the letter of the tab you want to navigate to.

For example, Alt + H will bring you to the Home tab. Once you do this, it will then highlight the keystroke options within that tab.

If you then type I, it will bring you to List View (total keystrokes: Alt + H + I).
