Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully. The major accessibility features include:
Keyboard navigation:
The msys for Setup workplace supports commonly used keyboard shortcuts for accessing the menu bar, navigating between panel and list items, and editing text fields.
Accessing the menu:
You can use accelerator keys to select menu items. The accelerator keys are displayed as an underlined letter on the screen; for example, F is the accelerator for the File menu. Press the Alt key, then the accelerator key to select a menu item; for example, Alt+F shows the File menu. The File menu always contains the context specific menu items for the resource that has been selected in the resource tree or in the list view.
You can also use F10 to go to the File menu and then use the curser keys to navigate among the menu items.
Press the Enter key to perform the selected function.
Navigating among controls:
Use the Tab key to navigate to the next control on a panel; use Shift+Tab to return to the previous control.
Navigating the resource tree and the list view:
Use the Tab key to move between the resource tree and the list view of the workplace.
Use the up and down arrow keys to move up and down among the resources in the resource tree or in the list view. If no resource is selected, use either the up or down key to select an initial one.
To expand or collapse a subtree below a resource in the resource tree navigate to the resource and then press Enter.
Press F5 to update the contents of the displayed workplace.
Editing text fields:
Within an editable text field, you can select characters using Shift plus an arrow key. You can copy a selected text to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C and paste it into another field with Ctrl+V. Use the Home key to move to the beginning of a text and the End key to move to the end of a text.
