Keyboard shortcuts to navigate dialog boxes

You can use the keyboard to navigate dialog boxes.

  • To move through dialog box options, press Tab.

    In Mac OS, pressing Tab moves the insertion point from one text field to the next.

  • To accept a choice and exit the dialog box, press Enter or Return.

  • To close the dialog box without making any changes, press Escape or Alt+F4 (Windows).

  • (Windows only) To move through choices for an option, use the arrow keys.

    For example, if an option has a pop-up menu, move focus to that option, use the Down Arrow key to move through the choices.

  • (Windows only) To move through an option list, press Control+Tab to shift focus to the option list, and then use the arrow keys to move up or down the list.

    To see an example of an option list, select Edit > Preferences.
