Web NavigationKeys

As it was first seen on the A30's keyboard, IBM introduced these 6 programmable circular keys for web navigation. Unfortunately, they were only available on the A3x series as no other model ever featured them again. This feature is not to be confused with the Easy Launch Buttons, despite their similarity with each other.

The keys are freely configurable, but their default purposes (as expressed by their labels) are:

  • Mail
  • Homepage
  • Search
  • Favorites
  • Reload
  • Abort

Linux support

See the Special Keys HOWTO to know how to configure these keys.
