Keyboard navigation

The Management Console allows you to work without a pointing device. You can navigate with the keyboard as follows:

Moving the focus between main window components Press the Tab key to move the focus between parts of the main window. The tab order is:
1. The active component pull-down, in the upper-left corner below the Management Console icon.
2. The tree view, below the active component pull-down.
3. Details view header, which is the single details tab over the right pane, where details display for the item you have highlighted in the tree view.
4. Details view data, the right window pane where the Management Console shows detail items for the item you have highlighted in the tree view.
Press Shift+Tab to move the focus to the previous component in the list.

Navigating in the tree view and details view The tree view, in the left pane of the Management Console, allows you to navigate through the entities and interfaces that can be configured in EAServer. The details view shows detail items for the item that is highlighted in the tree view. To navigate through items in these views, first move the focus to the tree view or Detail view, then use these keys:
- Enter – collapse or expand items in the tree view.
- Tab – in the details view, use the Tab key to move the focus to the desired control. To activate buttons, place the focus on the button and press Enter. You can display online help for the displayed tab by placing the focus on the Help button and pressing Enter.
  
  If you press the Enter key on a wizard page or properties page in the Management Console and the focus is not on a button, the button that is activated is browser-specific. Therefore, verify that the focus is on the correct button before pressing the Enter key.
