A tree is a user interface control that contains sections that you can expand and collapse. A tree usually represents a hierarchical structure.
To navigate trees, you can use the same keyboard shortcuts that are listed in Section 2.3.9.11 ― Navigating Lists. In addition, the following table lists the keyboard shortcuts you can use for the tree items:
| Keys | Function |
|---|---|
| + (plus) or shift+right | Expand the focused item. |
| - (minus) or shift+left | Collapse the focused item. |
| backspace | Select the parent item. |
| Ctrl+F | Display a search dialog, allowing you to type the name of the tree item that you want to find. Not all trees support searching. |
