Google Groups
The new Google Groups user interface is in the final stages of development and will roll
out to Google Apps for Business and Education users in 2012. The new Google Groups
contains two primary features that are useful for assistive technology users. The first is a
set of keyboard shortcuts that improves the ergonomics of common workflows, and the
second is the presence of ARIA hints on most of the important screen elements.
Features and options
• Keyboard shortcuts
• ARIA hints on important screen elements
User resources
• Keyboard shortcut dialog for Google Groups can be enabled by following these steps:
• Access the keyboard shortcut dialog from any screen by typing a question mark
(i.e., ?).

arranged in two columns.
• Press Control + Alt + Down Arrow to navigate through all the keyboard shortcuts.
