Each field in a dialog box has an accelerator key, which is indicated by a highlighted character in the name of the field. You can move directly to another field in a dialog by pressing the key that corresponds to this character.
However, accelerator keys cannot be used in the following situations:
When the cursor is in an edit box, any character key you press is entered into the edit box.
When the cursor is in a list box, any character key you press is used to move the cursor to the next item in the list box that begins with that character.
To use accelerator keys in these situations, you must first use the Tab or Backtab keys to move the cursor to a field other than an edit box or list box.
The following accelerator keys are not indicated by highlighted characters:
The Enter key chooses the current default push button (the one shown with highlighted angle brackets).
The Esc key is an accelerator for either of the two push buttons <Cancel> or <Done>. (These two push buttons never appear on the same dialog box.)
Some versions of Motif do not support accelerator keys. However, you can move to another field using the mouse.
