6.2.8.1 Keyboard Navigation
To meet the needs of a wide range of users of different abilities and skills,
Web-Based System Manager supports keyboard navigation. Specific key
assignments for keyboard navigation are similar to Windows and Netscape
Navigator.
The following keyboard navigation methods are supported:
Focus Traversal
Tab and Shift-Tab are used to move forward and backward among
controls.
Menu Shortcuts
Short cuts (or accelerators) are keyboard equivalents for menu
commands that are executed by key combinations (such as CTRL-F
for Find).
6.2.8.2 Mouse Model
For a three-button mouse, the mouse button functions are:
• Button 1 - select, drag, activate.
• Button 3 - context (pop-up) menu
For a two button mouse, the mouse button functions are:
• Button 1 - select, drag, activate
• Button 2 - context menu
A single-click of button 1 is used for selecting icons and activating button
controls.
A double-click of button 1 activates view area icons with their default behaviors.
For container objects, the default behavior is to open-contents-view. For simple
objects (that is, without contents), the default behavior is open-properties-dialog.
For objects that have both properties and contents (for example, UNIX groups),
the double-click action is to open-contents-view. Pop-up and Selected menu
choices (Open=contents, Properties=properties dialog) for each action are provided.
6.2.9 Selection and Multiple Selection
A single selection defines to which object the actions in the selected menu, or
pop-up menu, apply. Specific actions are enabled, or disabled, depending upon
the type of object selected. A single-click of button 1 is used to select an object.
