You can avoid using a mouse for navigating the EVMS GUI by using a series of key strokes, or "accelerator keys," instead. The following sections tell how to use accelerator keys in the EVMS Main Window, the Selection Window, and the Configuration Options Window. In the Main Window view, use the following keys to navigate: Left and right arrow keysNavigate between the notebook tabs of the different views. Down arrow key and Spacebar keyBring keyboard focus into the view. Once in a view, use the following keys to navigate: up and down arrow keysAllow movement around the window. "+" keyOpens an object tree. "-" keyCollapses an object tree. ENTER keyBrings up the context menu (on a row). Arrow keysNavigate a context menu. ENTERActivates an item. CANCELDismisses the context menu. TabGets you out of the view and moves you back up to the notebook tab. To access the action bar menu, press the Alt key and then the underlined accelerator key for the menu choice (for example, "A" for the Actions dropdown menu). In a dropdown menu, you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate. You could also just type the accelerator key for the menu item, which is the character with the underscore. For example, to initiate a command to delete a container, type Alt + "A" + "D" + "C." Ctrl-S is a shortcut to initiate saving changes. Ctrl-Q is a shortcut to initiate quitting the EVMS GUI. A selection window typically contains a selection list, plus four to five buttons below it.
