Keyboard shortcuts


The following tables provide list AR System keyboard shortcut keys. The term focus refers to keyboard focus, not to virtual cursor positions defined by certain assistive technologies.

Character field menu shortcut keys

Form action shortcut keys

These keys work only when the corresponding form action button is visible and enabled.

In the Section 508 accessibility mode, the following shortcut keys do not work. To access a character menu in 508 mode, you must be in Virtual PC Cursor (Non-Forms) mode. For more information, see Making-your-application-accessible-Section-508-compatibility.
