Chapter 7 Reference : Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard Shortcuts
This section summarizes the keyboard shortcuts for all types of forms, including the ones rendered in accessible mode.
When a form is rendered, initially the focus is on the first component of the form.
Grid Panes
This section summarizes the keyboard shortcuts you can use for grid panes.
Grid Panes in Display Mode
Grid panes can operate either in display mode or in edit mode. The edit widget does not pop up in display mode when the focus is on the cell. When the focus first shifts to a grid pane, the pane is in display mode.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 67 are applicable only to display mode.
Grid Panes in Edit Mode
When in edit mode, the controls in each cell are displayed as editable when the cell has the focus. If a control is disabled or read-only, then it continues to display the text version of the control value. Note that the grid pane does not handle any of these keys if the active cell editor handles the keystroke. For example, the textarea controls handle Up/Down Arrow keys. Pressing these keys affects the textarea and not the grid pane.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 68 are applicable only to edit mode.
The Enter key within a textarea or list control is not handled by the grid pane. For such cases, use Ctrl+Enter to activate display mode.
Grid Pane Column Headers
The heading for each column is rendered as an HTML anchor tag. As they are rendered as hyperlinks, each column heading is a tab stop when traversing the form. For sortable grids, pressing the Enter key activates the hyperlink, and sorts the rows on that column between three possible states: unsorted (the default), sorted ascending, and sorted descending.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 69 are applicable only to the grid pane column headers.
Grid Pane Navigation Bar
For grid panes with more rows than a single page can accommodate, a navigation bar appears at the bottom of the grid pane. By using it, you can go to the first, previous, next, or last page of the pane. If you press Tab when the focus is on the navigation bar, the focus shifts to the "First" or the "Next" arrows. The "First" and "Previous" arrows are disabled when the first page of the grid pane is displayed. Similarly, the "Next" and the "Last" arrows are disabled when the last page is displayed.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 70 are applicable only to the grid pane navigation bar.
Shifts the focus either to the next arrow on the navigation bar, or to the New and Delete buttons if they are enabled. If there is no arrow or button available, the focus shifts to the next component in the form after the grid pane.
List Controls
This section summarizes the keyboard shortcuts you can use for list controls.
List Controls in Display Mode
Similar to grid panes, list controls are either in display mode or in edit mode. If you press Tab when the focus is on a list control, the control is rendered in display mode, and the focus shifts to the first item in the list.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 71 are applicable only to list controls in display mode.
List Controls in Edit Mode
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 72 are applicable only to list controls in edit mode.
List Control Command Bar
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 73 are applicable only to the list control command bar.
Record Panes
This section summarizes the keyboard shortcuts you can use for record panes.
The keyboard navigation is just the same within a record pane. There are a few more keyboard shortcuts listed in the next sub-sections.
Record Pane Body
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 74 are applicable only to the record pane body.
Record Pane Navigation Bar
If you press Tab when focus is on the component before a record pane, the focus shifts to the central text field in the navigation bar, which displays the current record number.
The keyboard shortcuts listed in Table 75 are applicable only to the record pane navigation bar.
 
Tabbed Panes
This section summarizes the keyboard shortcuts you can use for tabbed panes.
