Keyboard shortcuts for applications

Keyboard shortcuts help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use applications successfully.

You can use the following keyboard shortcuts for opening and closing an application.

Note: In any form, view, page, or document there could be several embedded elements (the date picker in the calendar is an example of an embedded element). You can navigate to an embedded element, give focus within the embedded element, and then remove the focus to continue navigating through the form, view, page, or document. When focus is in an embedded element, the thin black frame around it disappears. When focus is removed from an embedded element, the thin black frame reappears.
