SYMPTOMS

Keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt+K which performs the Check Name function in the Outlook Client, are not supported in the Outlook Web Access Client.

CAUSE

This is by design. Most JavaScript-aware browsers may be used as Outlook Web Access Clients. Keyboard shortcuts are difficult to implement because they may conflict with an existing browser's keyboard shortcut.
