Understanding Aria Shortcuts

Aria often refers to accessibility features that enhance user experience, particularly for those using assistive technologies. Shortcuts, like the "Menu shortcut," provide quick access to these functionalities. Disabling it can be useful if it conflicts with other shortcuts or if you prefer to access Aria's features through other means.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disabling the Aria Menu Shortcut

Follow these clear steps to disable the Aria Menu shortcut:

  3. Manage Menu Shortcut: Inside the "Settings Aria" panel, you will find an option to either enable or disable the "Menu shortcut." Toggle this option to the "Disable" position.

Detailed Steps for Sidebar Setup (if applicable)

If your application integrates Aria via a sidebar, you might need an additional step:
