IBM DS4500 Portable Media Storage User Manual


 
Appendix E. Accessibility
This section provides information about alternate keyboard navigation, which is a
DS4000 Storage Manager accessibility feature. Accessibility features help a user
who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use
software products successfully.
By using the alternate keyboard operations that are described in this section, you
can use keys or key combinations to perform Storage Manager tasks and initiate
many menu actions that can also be done with a mouse.
Note: In addition to the keyboard operations that are described in this section, the
DS4000 Storage Manager 9.14, 9.15, and 9.16 software installation packages for
Windows include a screen reader software interface. To enable the screen reader,
select Custom Installation when using the installation wizard to install Storage
Manager 9.14, 9.15, or 9.16 on a Windows host/management station. Then, in the
Select Product Features window, select Java
Access Bridge in addition to the
other required host software components.
Table 38 defines the keyboard operations that enable you to navigate, select, or
activate user interface components. The following terms are used in the table:
v Navigate means to move the input focus from one user interface component to
another.
v Select means to choose one or more components, typically for a subsequent
action.
v Activate means to carry out the action of a particular component.
Note:
In general, navigation between components requires the following keys:
v Tab - Moves keyboard focus to the next component or to the first member
of the next group of components
v Shift-Tab - Moves keyboard focus to the previous component or to the
first component in the previous group of components
v Arrow keys - Move keyboard focus within the individual components of a
group of components
