JavaHelp Keyboard Shortcuts |
You can view the Java Studio Creator online help on the product website or you can use the JavaHelpTM system viewer to view the online help in the IDE. Most of the features of the help viewer are accessible from the keyboard. When you open the help viewer for the first time, the keyboard focus is on the Contents navigator entry for the current context-sensitive help topic. If you previously opened the help viewer, the focus returns to the last item that had the focus. The keyboard shortcut traversal order goes from the toolbar pane to the selected tab to the left content pane and then to the right pane.
Keyboard focus is not always clearly shown in the panes of the help viewer window. If you cannot see where the keyboard focus is, press Ctrl-F1. If the focus is on the Back, Forward, Print, or Page Setup buttons in the toolbar, the alternate text for the button is displayed. If alternate text does not display, then keyboard focus is not on a button. Press Ctrl-Tab to see if the focus is on one of the navigator tabs (Contents tab, Index tab, or Search tab). If the focus is on one of the Navigator tabs, then press Shift-Tab to change the focus to the toolbar pane.
