Non-standard keyboard shortcuts
There are
two keyboard shortcuts that do not conform to standards. It is important
that you are aware of these deviations from the standard action so
you are aware of the

response.

| Radio buttons |
To move between radio buttons, press the
Right and Left arrows. |
The radio buttons are selected as the user moves
though them. |
The radio buttons are highlighted but not
selected as the user moves through them. A radio button is selected
only when the user presses Spacebar or Enter on the highlighted radio
button. |
| Tree view |
To select a node, press Enter. |
When the user presses Enter, the default action
is performed for a node. |
Nodes might have 0, 1 or 2 actions. If
a node has 2 actions and a user has navigated to an element by using
the arrows, when the user presses Enter the default action is performed.
When the user presses Enter a second time, the secondary action is
performed.
