VEA Help Additions to Microsoft Keyboard Conventions
The table, “VEA/Applications Help Additions to Microsoft Keyboard Conventions,”
summarizes the keyboard additions to the Microsoft keyboard conventions in the
VERITAS implementation of mnemonics and accelerators:
Dialog Boxes
Dialog boxes often contain groups of controls necessary to set options or settings for
programs.
You can select or choose controls that have an underlined letter in their titles by typing
ALT + the underlined letter at any time when the dialog box is active. TAB moves the
keyboard focus between controls, but which controls are included in the focus sequence,
and the order of the sequence, may vary between applications. Typically, items that
cannot be changed are not visited by the
TAB key. Arrow keys are used to move within a
list box, groups of option controls, or groups of page tabs. Arrow keys can move the
keyboard focus between other controls but this behavior is not reliable. Options that are
unavailable appear dimmed and cannot be selected.
While the controls described here are typically found on dialog boxes, they also can occur
in other contexts.
Command buttons The OK button carries out the command using the information
supplied in the dialog box. Other command buttons let you cancel the command or
choose from additional options.
Command buttons marked with an ellipsis (...) open another dialog box so you can
provide more information or confirm an action.
