As on all pages you can use SPACE to scroll down and Shift-SPACE
to scroll up. Up and down arrows also work. In addition, you can use the first letter
of every enabled section tab as a keyboard shortcut, for example M to navigate
to the Medals section.
If you have a user account you can use your account preferences to configure how many medals you wish to see per page when you're in the Medals section. The default value is 10. You can also specify whether you wish to see the medal narrative and details expanded by default or not. The default is to not expand either medal narrative or details on the series page.
