How to quickly turn on Accessibility options in macOS 26 Tahoe

This section explains how to enable Accessibility Shortcuts in macOS 26 Tahoe. This is a step-by-step guide with pictures of the screens to help.

1. Press Fn + Alt (Option) + Cmd + F5 to open the Accessibility Shortcuts menu. If your computer has Touch ID, you can triple-press Touch ID (power button) to open the Accessibility menu.

2. Tick the checkboxes for the accessibility options you would like to turn on. Click Done to close the menu.

3. Open the Accessibility Shortcuts menu (as above), then click the Settings button to open System Settings.

4. On the System Settings page (the right-hand column), scroll down to the bottom and click Shortcut.

5. Tick the checkboxes for all the items you would like to appear in the Accessibility Shortcuts menu.

6. When you are happy with your settings, close System Settings by clicking the Close button (red circle) in the top-left corner of the window or using the Cmd + W keyboard shortcut.

Note: If this does not work it could be because your computer settings are managed by someone else (an IT department or administrator for example). If so, you will need to contact them to access these settings or for help.
