Using the tab and arrow keys

While the pointer allows you to access the many features and tools
contained in Graphs & Geometry, you can also use the Tab and arrow
keys to access these features. Using these keys is easier or more
convenient than using the pointer.
The Tab key:
• First Tab stop: places the cursor to the right of the equal sign on the
function entry line. This allows you to create a new expression.
• Second Tab stop: highlights the Expand/Collapse entry line history
button.
• Third Tab stop: highlights the Hide/Show button on the entry line.
• Fourth Tab stop: highlights the Attributes button on the entry line.
• Fifth Tab stop: focuses on the Pause/Start button of the animation
control bar, if present. If the Data Collection control bar is displayed,
focuses on the Start/Stop button.
• Sixth Tab stop: focuses on the graphing portion of the page and
commits any editing changes. The pointer is active on the page.
