5. Using the Keyboard

The electronic Spare Parts Catalogue can be used even without a mouse. Most of the functions that can be used with a mouse can also be used with the keyboard.

Generally, the tab key will be active on the main functions of the current page; the functions menu on the left, where applicable, can be used with the direction keys.
To confirm a selection you need to press the "Return" key on the keyboard.

The standard combinations are available:

'alt/left arrow ': goes back to the previous page

'alt/right arrow ': goes to the next page.

'alt/down arrow ': expands the combo (the direction keys permit selecting one of the values of the combo)

'alt/up arrow ': closes the combo.

'spacebar': to select a check box/radio button

to facilitate browsing with the keyboard, there are the following function keys:

'Alt 1': positions the focus on the first item of the menu on the left

'Alt 6': selects from the list (depends on the field where there is the focus)

'Alt 3': closes a pop-up

'Alt 4': search

'Alt 5': reset

'Alt 8': technical info sheet

'Alt 7': save

'Alt 9': print

'Alt 0': add help desk note

'Alt 2': view cart
