For general information about navigating through Crystal Ball without a mouse, see Using the Tab and Arrow Keys in the Crystal Ball User Interface. The information given there about the Tab key and tab order applies to controls in Crystal Ball charts. However, additional rules apply for accessing data tables, such as statistics and percentiles, for navigating through multiple views in the same window—for example, in Split View, and for navigating through multiple charts.
If you use the Tab key to select a data view in a chart, a cell is selected. Each time you press Tab, the next cell in that row is selected. At the end of the row, the first cell in the next row is selected. At the end of the table, the next Tab advances to an additional view or the next control.
Note: | When you use Tab to access a data table, the first cell in the table is not always selected. If you leave the table after only a few Tab key uses, press Shift+Tab several times to return to the table and test whether additional data is available. |
Tabbing Through Multiple Views
If a chart displays multiple views, the default tab order changes. Initially, the first label or control at the top is selected and then the second until all labels and controls above the chart have been selected. The next time you use the Tab key, the first chart view is selected (if present), then the next chart view, and so on until all chart views have been selected. Then, the first data table is selected (if present). After navigation through all data tables, the first label or control below the chart views is selected (if present) and navigation proceeds as usual.
Except for scatter charts, you can use Ctrl+(view number) to select a chart view without tabbing. For example, suppose a chart in Split View contains a column with two chart views and a second column with two data tables. Considering tab order, the first chart view is 1, the second chart view is 2, the first data table is 3, and the second data table is 4. Then, Ctrl+2 selects the second chart view and Ctrl+3 selects the first data table. Once a data table is selected, Tab moves through rows of data as usual.
Tabbing Through Multiple Charts
If several charts are open but none are in Split View, you can use Ctrl+(chart number) to cycle through the charts. Ctrl+1 selects the first chart, Ctrl+2 selects the second, and so on.
Note: | Once a chart is selected, you can use the View menu commands (Alt+command shortcut key) or the shortcut keys listed in Table 5, Shortcut keys for Chart Preferences to cycle through available chart views. |
