Managing accessibility settings

GitHub's user interface can adapt to your vision, hearing, motor, cognitive, or learning needs.

[!NOTE] This article will help you customize your experience on the GitHub website as a whole. For information on using specific GitHub products with screen readers and other assistive technologies, see the GitHub Accessibility Documentation.

Managing the appearance of links

You can control whether links in text blocks are underlined and therefore more distinguishable.

1. In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Settings.

2. In the left sidebar, click Accessibility.

3. Under "Content", manage settings for link appearance.

   • To enable underlines on links in text blocks, under "Link underlines", select Show link underlines.
   • To disable underlines on links in text blocks, under "Link underlines", select Hide link underlines.
   • To disable hovercards for previewing link content, deselect Hovercards.

2. In the left sidebar, click Accessibility.

3. Under "Keyboard shortcuts", manage settings for your keyboard shortcuts.

   • To disable shortcut keys that don't use modifiers keys like Control or Command, under "General", deselect Character keys.
     • If you disable character keys, you may still be able to trigger shortcuts for your web browser, and you can still trigger shortcuts that use a modifier key.
   • To customize the keyboard shortcuts for triggering the command palette, under "Command palette", use the drop-down menus to choose a keyboard shortcut. For more information, see GitHub Command Palette.

2. In the left sidebar, click Accessibility.
