Appendix F. Accessibility
This section provides information about alternate keyboard navigation, which is a
DS 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
DS Storage Manager version 9.14 - 10.10 (and later) 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 - 10.10 (or later) 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 37 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
