Press ALT with the appropriate underlined character to access basic Windows commands (such as File, Edit, etc.) from the menu bar.
Additionally when using a wizard, press ALT with the underlined character in the wizard next step buttons to perform next step functions. In order for this to work properly, you may need to make a modification to the Windows Control Panel/Display selections. Follow these steps.
| 1 | Click the Windows Start menu button. |
| 2 | Point to Settings, then click Control Panel. |
| 3 | Double-click the Display icon. |
| 4 | Click the Effects tab. (On Windows XP, click the Appearance tab, then click the Effects button.) |
| 5 | On the Effects tab, make certain the Hide Keyboard Navigation Indicators Until I Use the Alt Key option is not selected. If it is selected, clear the check box, then click Apply. |
| 6 | If you cleared the check box while the client was open, you will need to restart the client for this change to take effect. |
Also, some wizard next steps do not use the ALT+first character keyboard shortcut convention. The following next steps use the ALT key plus the character that appears in parentheses or another underlined character in the button label:
Delete uses ALT+x
Search uses ALT+u
Modify uses ALT+y
Modify Holdings uses ALT+g
Add Another Title uses ALT+r
When in a wizard window, you can press ALT+l to access the Helpers menu. To access a helper from the menu, press the underlined character in the helper name. For example, in the Checkout wizard, you press ALT+l to access the Helpers menu, then press h to access the Change Item ID helper.
Press ALT with a number (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) to navigate tools on acquisitions and selection list tabs. A tab toolbox appears above the tables displayed on acquisitions and selection list tabs.

When you search for an item in the catalog, you can use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move the highlight to an entry in the search results list. Pressing ENTER selects that entry.
