formed by dotted lines. These areas are said to have focus and will respond to
commands.
All Veritas GUIs use the following keyboard navigation standards:
■ Tab moves the focus to the next active area, field, or control, following a preset
sequence. Shift+Tab moves the focus in the reverse direction through the
sequence.
■ Ctrl+Tab exits any Console area that you internally navigate with Tab.
■ Up and Down arrow keys move focus up and down the items of a list.
■ ALT in combination with the underlined mnemonic letter for a field or
command button shifts the focus to that field or button.
■ Enter activates your selection. For example, after pressing Tab to select the
Next buttonin a wizard panel, press Enter to display the next screen.
Navigation in dialog boxes
Dialog boxes contain groups of controls necessary to set options or settings for
programs.
Here are some general rules about dialog box navigation:
■ Tab moves focus between controls within the dialog box along a preset
sequence.
■ Controls displaying a mnemonic (an underlined letter) can be selected
regardless of focus by typing ALT and the underlined letter.
■ A dark border indicates the default command button. Press Enter at any time
to choose the button with a dark border.
■ ALT C chooses the Cancel button if one exists.
■ Spacebar chooses a control you select with Tab.
■ Spacebar changes the state of a checkbox or radio button that has focus. Typing
a mnemonic (if one is available) will move the focus to the checkbox or radio
button and change its state.
■ Arrow keys move focus within listboxes, sliders, groups of option controls, or
groups of page tabs.
■ Items that cannot be changed are not visited by the Tab key sequence. Options
that are unavailable are grayed-out and can neither be selected nor given focus.
While the controls described here are typically found in dialog boxes, they also
can occur in other contexts. The same navigation standards will apply.
