Using Shortcut Keys

Using you keyboard, quickly maneuver through grids located on various applications pages without the assistance of a mouse.

Left / Right - Moves the currently selected cell in the left or right direction until it reaches the first or last column in the same row. The cell is not in editable mode when you are leveraging the left/right and up/down arrows.

Up / Down - Moves the currently selected row in the up or down direction; across pages until it reaches the first or last row.

Tab - Selects the next cell in the same row if available or moves to the first cell in the next row (if available). Once the cell is selected, if the cell is editable, it is displayed in the cell editor. Navigation moves across pages until it reaches the last row.

Shift+Tab - Same as Tab, but moves in the reverse direction. Navigation moves across pages, until it reaches the first row.

Enter - Selects the cell in the same column, but in the next row (if available). Once the cell is selected, if the cell is editable, it is displayed in the cell editor. Navigation moves across pages, until it reaches the last row.

Page Up / Page Down - If the cell is not in edit mode, this option is used to navigate the pages selecting the first cell in the first row of the page. If the current highlighted cell is an auto complete list with paging enabled, navigate the pages in the auto complete list. Utilize the Page Up and Down to navigate through available pages of selections as the drop-down box displays only 10 members by default. In addition you can use the Page Controls (left and right arrows) at the bottom of the drop-down box to navigate between the available selections.

Auto-Complete - Within a grid that requires member selections, the available members are displayed in a drop-down box, which is configured with auto-complete functionality. Type the first letter of the code you are searching for and the list will be automatically filtered. Continue to add characters to the filter until you have your item selected or use the up and down arrow keys to select the correct member from the available list. Once the item is highlighted, press Shift+Tab or Tab to move to the left or right cell, or, press Shift+Enter or Enter to move to the row above or row below. Once you select a value for a drop-down box and navigate to the next cell the destination cell will always remain active so that there is no need to leverage the mouse.
