Special function keys

Certain keys have special functions that mimic the mouse
operation. You can use these keys if your mouse is not working.
Also, certain key combinations allow you to move around the
keyboard more easily in the absence of a mouse. Both types of
keys are listed below:
<ENTER>. Pressing this key has the same result as clicking the
left mouse button once. Holding the <ENTER> key down has
the same result as holding the left mouse button down. Pressing
the <ENTER> key when an input field is active (such as, when
an input field contains the blinking data entry cursor) has the
same result as selecting the header button containing the enter
symbol.
<CTRL> + <ENTER>. Pressing these keys has the same result
as pressing the right mouse button once. Holding <CTRL> and
<ENTER> down has the same result as holding down the right
mouse button. When the data entry cursor is displayed in an
input field, pressing <CTRL> + <ENTER> has the same result
as pressing <ENTER>.
<CTRL> + <SPACEBAR>. Pressing these keys has the same
result as chording the mouse, that is holding down both the left
and right buttons of the mouse. (Chording the mouse results in
the I/O menu being displayed. Refer to chapter 7, "Job Control
windows," for information on the I/O menu.) <CTRL> +
<SPACEBAR> does not function when the data entry cursor is
displayed in an input field. If necessary, press the <ESCAPE>
key to remove the data entry cursor from the window.
<CTRL>+<X>. This key combination cancels operations,
such as file listings.
<ESCAPE>. Pressing this key cancels entry into an input field
by removing the data entry cursor from the window.
<TAB>. This key selects the next input field.
The cursor is the entry point for information or activity on the PC
UI screen.

Types of cursors

• Main cursor. Appears when you can select items on the
desktop.
• Wait cursor. Appears when a system activity is being
processed (for example, when a window is being opened)
and during system initialization.
• Data Entry caret. Appears when you can enter information
in a field (an input field).
