Appendix A. Accessibility
This section provides information about alternate keyboard navigation, which is a DS4000 Storage Manager accessibility feature. Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully.
By using the alternate keyboard operations that are described in this section, you can use keys or key combinations to perform Storage Manager tasks and initiate many menu actions that can also be done with a mouse.
Note: In addition to the keyboard operations that are described in this section, the DS4000 Storage Manager 9.14 software installation package for Windows includes a screen reader software interface. To enable the screen reader, select Custom Installation when using the installation wizard to install Storage Manager 9.14 on a Windows host/management station. Then, in the Select Product Features window, select Java Access Bridge in addition to the other required host software components.

vNavigate means to move the input focus from one user interface component to another.
