Navigating Panel Applications

A panel application is a small application that resides on a panel. You can navigate to all panel applications and open the panel application popup menu from the keyboard. However, if the panel application does not contain controls that you can give focus to, you cannot navigate the controls in the panel application. The following table lists the keyboard shortcuts that you can use to navigate panel applications.

arrow keys Navigate the controls on the panel application.
Shift+F10 Open the panel application popup menu. To navigate the menu, use the standard keyboard shortcuts for navigating menus. See Section 2.3.9.1 ― Navigating Menus for information about how to navigate menus.
