We're sorry you're having trouble with Bluebird. We hope this page will provide you with the assistance you are searching for.

Navigation

You can navigate around Bluebird using either the mouse or the keyboard. Pressing the 'TAB' key on the keyboard will move between all available buttons. You will hear an audio cue upon reaching each button, stating what that button does.

After you have selected the button you wish to press, pressing the 'SPACE' bar will click the button. This could possibly open a new window with more buttons to choose from. You will hear audio cues, and you can navigate through this window just as before.
