6.2.3 Navigating in dialogs

Dialogs usually have a lot of elements in them such as buttons, edit fields, memo fields, list boxes and so on. To activate one of these fields, it is sufficient to:

  1. Click on the element with the mouse.
  2. Press the Tab key till the focus reaches the mouse
  3. Press the highlighted letter in the element’s label. If the focus is currently on an element that allows to edit, then Alt should be pressed simultaneously with the highlighted letter. For a button, the action associated with the button will then be executed.

Inside edit fields, list boxes, memos, navigation is carried out with the usual arrow key commands.
