Navigation In Modules - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual

Press Enter to start the desired module. Various buttons or selection fields in the module
contain a letter with a different color (yellow by default). Use Alt + yellow_letter to
select a button directly instead of navigating there with Tab . Exit the YaST Control
Center by pressing Alt + Q or by selecting Quit and pressing Enter .

8.12.1 Navigation in Modules

The following description of the control elements in the YaST modules assumes that
all function keys and Alt key combinations work and are not assigned different global
functions. Read Section 8.12.2, "Restriction of Key Combinations" (page 187) for infor-
mation about possible exceptions.
Navigation among Buttons and Selection Lists
Use Tab and Alt + Tab or Shift + Tab to navigate among the buttons and the frames
containing selection lists.
Navigation in Selection Lists
Use the arrow keys ( ↑ and ↓ ) to navigate among the individual elements in an active
frame containing a selection list. If individual entries within a frame exceed its
width, use Shift + → or Shift + ← to scroll horizontally to the right and left. Alter-
natively, use Ctrl + E or Ctrl + A . This combination can also be used if using → or
← would result in changing the active frame or the current selection list, as in the
Control Center.
Buttons, Radio Buttons, and Check Boxes
To select buttons with empty square brackets (check boxes) or empty parentheses
(radio buttons), press Space or Enter . Alternatively, radio buttons and check boxes
can be selected directly with Alt + yellow_letter . In this case, you do not need to
confirm with Enter . If you navigate to an item with Tab , press Enter to execute the
selected action or activate the respective menu item.
Function Keys
The F keys ( F1 to F12 ) enable quick access to the various buttons. Which function
keys are actually mapped to which buttons depends on the active YaST module,
because the different modules offer different buttons (Details, Info, Add, Delete,
etc.). Use F10 for OK, Next, and Finish. Press F1 to access the YaST help, which
shows the functions mapped to the individual F keys.
