About accessibility support
Accessibility support in the authoring environment provides keyboard shortcuts for navigating and using interface controls, including panels, the
Property inspector, dialog boxes, the Stage, and objects on the Stage, so that you can work with these interface elements without using the
mouse.
Note: Certain keyboard controls and authoring environment accessibility features are available only in Windows.
To customize the keyboard shortcuts for accessibility in the authoring environment, use the Workspace Accessibility Commands section of the
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
To hide all panels and the Property inspector, press F4. To display all panels and the Property inspector, press F4 again.
Select controls in a panel using keyboard shortcuts
To move the focus through the panel controls when a panel or the Property inspector has the current focus, use the Tab key. To activate a menu
that has the current focus, use the Spacebar (that is, pressing Spacebar is equivalent to clicking the menu in the panel). Flash Pro does not
support moving from panel to panel with the Tab key.
When you use the keyboard shortcut for panel controls, focus is applied to a control and the control is activated using the following criteria:
To select a control in the panel with the Tab key, the panel with the current focus must be expanded. If the panel is collapsed, pressing Tab
has no effect.
To display the Panel menu items when the Panel menu has the focus, press the Space bar.
You can move the focus to a panel control only if the control is active. If a control is dimmed (inactive), you cannot apply focus to the control.

1. To display the Panel menu items when the focus currently applied to the Panel menu, press the Spacebar.
2. To move through the items in the Panel menu, press Down Arrow.
3. To activate the currently selected Panel menu item, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Move the focus through the controls in a panel

Navigate dialog box controls using keyboard shortcuts
To move through the controls in the dialog box, press Tab.
To move through the controls within one section of a dialog box, press Up Arrow and Down Arrow.
To activate the button (equivalent to clicking the button), when the focus is applied to a dialog box control button, press Enter.
To apply the current settings and close the dialog box (equivalent to clicking OK), when the focus is not applied to any dialog box control
button, press Enter.
To close the dialog box without applying the changes (equivalent to clicking Cancel), press Escape.
