In this release of IBM® Connections,
sections have been added to the page in which arrow key navigation
is enabled, so you can navigate a page without having to press the
Tab key as many times. Here's how it works: Pressing the Tab
key gives focus to the first item in the section. You can then use
the arrow keys to navigate between items, and press Enter to select
an item. Pressing the Tab key again brings you out of that section
and gives focus to the next selectable item on the page. The following
sections of the product implement this new behavior:
- Top menu
- Press the Tab key until focus is given to the Home menu option.
Use the arrow keys to move to another application menu option. Press
Enter to display a submenu, and then use the arrow keys to move directly
to the submenu option that you want to select. Press Enter to select
a menu option.
- Tabs menu
- When focus is given to the Tabs menu within an application, only
the first application tab is given focus. You must use the arrow keys
to move between the different tabs. Pressing the Tab key again moves
focus to the next area of the page.
- Buttons menu
- Press the Tab key until focus is given to the first button in
a set of buttons. Use the arrow keys to move to the button you want
to select, and then press Enter. Pressing the Tab key again moves
focus to the next areas of the page.
- Side menu
- Press the Tab key until focus is given to the first item in the
menu, and then use the arrow keys to move between the menu options.
Press Enter to select a menu option.
- Tag collection
- When displayed as a cloud, pressing the Tab key gives focus to
the first tag in the cloud. Use the arrow keys to move directly to
the tag you want to select, and then press Enter. When displayed as
a list, pressing the Tab key gives focus to the first tag in the list.
Use the arrow keys to move down the list to the tag you want to select,
and then press Enter.
If the application user interface contains a View
