<title>Keyboard navigation</title>
<comment>
<cite date="2012-03-14" href="mailto:shaunm@gnome.org">Shaun McCance</cite>
<p>Do <em>NOT</em> use <code>ui:expanded</code> on this page. I know it's
tempting, but the target audience for this page is people who cannot use
a mouse, and having to expand sections when you're just figuring out how
to drive things with the keyboard is a burden.</p>
</comment>
<p>This page details keyboard navigation for people who cannot use a mouse or
other pointing device, or who want to use a keyboard as much as possible. For
keyboard shortcuts that are useful to all users, see
<link xref="shell-keyboard-shortcuts"/> instead.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you cannot use a pointing device like a mouse, you can control the
mouse pointer using the numeric keypad on your keyboard. See
<link xref="mouse-mousekeys"/> for details.</p>
