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 through F12 ) enable quick access to the various buttons. Available
F key shortcuts are shown in the bottom line of the YaST screen. Which function
keys are actually mapped to which buttons depend on the active YaST module,
because the different modules offer different buttons (Details, Info, Add, Delete,
etc.). Use F10 for Accept, OK, Next, and Finish. Press F1 to access the YaST help.
Using Navigation Tree in ncurses Mode
Some YaST modules use a navigation tree in the left part of the window to select
configuration dialogs. In ncurses mode, Enter must be pressed after a selection in
the navigation tree in order to show the selected dialog. This is an intentional be-
haviour to save time consuming redraws when browsing through the navigation
tree.
