Something similar was discussed some years ago in http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Staff-client-keyboard-shortcuts-td3066327.... Koha Staff has four pages where MARC tags are grouped under tabs: catalogue/MARCdetail.pl cataloguing/addbiblio.pl authorities/detail.pl authorities/authorities.pl I successfully proposed to my cataloguers a way to pass from tab to tab pressing numbers (keyboard or keypad). The solution (this is for catalogue/MARCdetail.pl): $(document).ready(function() { if (location.pathname.indexOf('catalogue/MARCdetail.pl')>-1) { $(document).keydown(function(e) { if (e.target.tagName == 'INPUT') return; if (e.target.tagName == 'TEXTAREA') return; var f = 0; // flag var c = e.which; // code key pressed if (c >= 48 && c <= 57) {f=1; c -= 48;} // 0..9 keyboard if (c >= 96 && c <= 105) {f=1; c -= 96;} // 0..9 keypad if (f == 0) return; var marc_sections = $('#bibliotabs ul li a').text().replace(/[^0-9]/g,''); var marc_section = marc_sections.indexOf(c); if (marc_section == -1) return; $($('#bibliotabs ul li a')[marc_section]).click(); }); }; }); We tested it in a lot of Mac browsers, also a very old one like Firefox 3.6.6. It works fine with Koha 3.2.7 and Koha 3.6.1. I'd like to share the code but I think that we need more testing on Linux and Windows -- keyboard events are managed in a lot of manners by browsers. To test it, open a record like http://your_koha.org:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=... open the Firebug console, paste the code and try to skip from tab to tab pressing numbers. Changing or reloading the record will lose the event capture: paste the code again. And please let me know. Thanks. Stefano
