Abstract
A system and method for accelerated web page navigation using keyboard accelerators in a data processing system. A navigation layer is provided within a web browser application to enable pre-processing of a markup language within a web page retrieved from a web server. Multiple sequentially and/or individually accessible pages (i.e., paged content) of the web page are detected and functionality of one or more buttons of a keyboard is associated with one or more navigation functions of the web page (i.e., keyboard accelerators are enabled). The keyboard accelerators include a right directional arrow button of the keyboard associated with a transition within the web page from a first page of the multiple individually accessible pages to a next sequential page, a left directional arrow button of the keyboard associated with a transition within the web page from a first page of the multiple individually accessible pages to a previous sequential page, and a numeric button of the keyboard associated with a corresponding page number of individual pages of the web page.
