Using the Keyboard

For almost every task which you can perform with the mouse, you can use the keyboard to perform the same task. You can use shortcut keys to perform general Oracle Solaris Desktop tasks and to work with interface items such as panels and windows. You can also use shortcut keys in applications. To customize your shortcut keys, use the Keyboard Shortcuts preference tool. See Keyboard Shortcuts for more information about configuring keyboard shortcuts.

You can also modify the Oracle Solaris Desktop preferences to use keyboard accessibility features. See Accessibility for more information about the keyboard accessibility features. For more information about keyboard navigation functions available on the Oracle Solaris Desktop, see Oracle Solaris 11 Desktop Accessibility Guide
