This appendix describes keyboard alternatives to using your mouse.

Keyboard shortcuts offer a way to accomplish desktop tasks such as moving and selecting windows and controls, choosing menus, and navigating in workspaces without the use of your mouse.

When you use the keyboard to navigate on the desktop, note that:

The Alt key is the same as the Extend char key on some keyboards.
Return is the same as Enter on some keyboards.
In Style Manager, the Window Behavior setting must be Click In Window To Make Active (this is the default).

For more information on the Window Behavior setting, refer to Chapter 7 “Customizing the Desktop Environment”."
