Navigating dialog boxes

You can use the keyboard to navigate dialog boxes.

Note: Tabbing and the use of arrow keys are supported for Windows only.

To navigate a dialog box:

1. Press the Tab key to move through the options in a dialog box.
2. Use the arrow keys to move through choices for an option.

   For example, if an option has a pop-up menu, move focus to that option, and then use the down arrow to move through the choices.

3. If the dialog box has a Category list, press Control+Tab (Windows) or Option+Tab (Macintosh) to shift focus to the category list, and then use the arrow keys to move up or down the list.
4. Press Control+Tab (Windows) or Option+Tab (Macintosh) again to shift to the options for a category.
5. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to exit the dialog box.
