Navigate via keyboard through the user interface

You can navigate through the user interace using the keyboard. Keyboard navigation mode stops when you do a mouse click.

Activate keyboard navigation:

Press ALT + M to navigate through the masthead. The focus is on the first item in the masthead.
Press ALT + N to navigate through the left side navigation area. The first focus is on the search field. If you have already used the keyboard shortcuts for the left hand navigation during the same session, the focus will be on the last selected item.
Press ALT + C to navigate through the main area. If breadcrumbs allow navigation, the first focus will be on the last navigable breadcrumb. Otherwise, the focus is on the first element of the view that opens.
After having selected for example a drop-down menu item you need to re-activate keyboard navigation using one of the above key combinations.
Press ESC or klick with the mouse to end keyboard navigation.

Navigate via keyboard:

Use TAB to navigate to the next item and SHIFT + TAB to navigate to the previous one.
Use arrow keys to navigate within the current item.

In the left side navigation panel, the navigation menu is a single item. You can switch between search field, navigation menu and button to expand and collapse the navigation panel using SHIFT + TAB. Within the navigation menu, you can navigate via arrow keys.
In views showing tables, TAB will move from the menu to the first data row in the table. You can navigate within the table using either TAB or SHIFT + TAB or the arrow keys. Search fields in the table header are available via arrow keys or SHIFT + TAB.
In content areas, TAB and SHIFT + TAB will lead you through the content items in the order given and also move from content item to content item menu and then to next content item. If you want to go to a content item at the bottom of the content area, you can use the arrow keys when the focus is on a content item. Using the arrow keys you can navigate quicker in a content page.

Set values via keyboard:

Press ENTER to activate the currently selected item. You can for example open a selected navigation menu item, navigate to the target of a menu item, open a drop-down list, activate a button, activate an edit field, or open a tab in a content area.
In drop-down lists, you can select options via the arrow keys. Press ENTER to select an item.
Press SPACE to set a checkmark.
