Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0 Graphical User Interface Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, May 2008

There are different kinds of listboxes with additional navigation conventions:
■ Drop-down listboxes by default show only the selected item. A small button
to the right of the control shows a downward-pointing arrow. Select the arrow
to display more items from the listbox. If there are more choices than can fit
in the preset listbox area, a slider appears along the side of the listbox. Show
or hide the list using F4. Enter selects or deselects an item.
■ Extended selection listboxes support selecting single items, blocks of items,
or combinations of the two. After selecting an item, hold down Shift+ or
Ctrl+navigation keys to select or deselect additional items or blocks of items.
Keyboard shortcuts
All menu items can be selected by using accelerator or mnemonic keyboard
shortcuts. An accelerator is a key combination that provides shortcut access to a
GUI function. A mnemonic (sometimes referred to as a “hot key”) is a single-key
equivalent (used in combination with the ALT key) for selecting GUI components
such as menu items. The mnemonic “hot key” letter is underlined in the GUI.
For example:
■ ALT to go into menu pull-down mode
■ F key to access the File menu
■ O key to activate the open command
Mnemonics are case-insensitive. Keys can be pressed sequentially instead of
simultaneously.
