Keyboard shortcuts
The following tables list AR System keyboard shortcut keys. The term focus refers to keyboard focus, not to virtual cursor positions defined by certain assistive technologies.
Panel field shortcut keys
Key | Description |
|---|---|
Left arrow or Right arrow | If the focus is on a tab selector, the left or right arrow sets focus to the next or previous tab selector without displaying it. Press Enter to display the selector. |
Enter | If the focus is on a tab selector, Enter displays the page. |
Character field menu shortcut keys
Key | Description |
|---|---|
Up arrow or Down arrow | Moves focus through the menu items. Press Enter to fill the field with the menu selection. |
Right arrow | If the selected item is a submenu, opens and sets focus to the submenu. |
Left arrow | Dismisses the submenu and sets focus to the upper-level menu. If focus is at the top level, no action occurs. |
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 use the Virtual PC Cursor (Non-Forms) mode. For more information, see Making-your-application-accessible-Section-508-compatibility.
Key | Description |
