All elements within the CV user interface are accessible via the keyboard when the user sets the Accessible user interface theme. CV enables the use of keystrokes to navigate to and from on-screen elements and to activate menus and functions. Keystrokes may also be used within various windows and dialog boxes to allow users to select from a list of elements or options. Where a checkbox is in focus, use the Spacebar to select or de-select the box.
The following example displays a sample list of networks available from the Browse Networks dialog box. In the dialog box, each network has a checkbox.
To select or de-select a checkbox using keystrokes:
1. When a window or dialog box opens, keyboard focus is typically on the Close button in the top-right corner, including the Browse Networks dialog box as shown below.
With keyboard focus on the Close button, press Tab until keyboard focus is on the checkbox of the desired network.
2. Press the Spacebar to check or uncheck the item.
3. Continue the combination of pressing Tab to move focus to another checkbox and press the Spacebar to select or deselect the checkbox.
4. When all desired checkboxes are selected or deselected as desired, press Tab until keyboard focus is on the OK button.
5. Press Enter.
Note: If you would like to close the dialog box without making changes, press Alt + 4 to put the Close button in keyboard focus and then press Enter.
