Re: Keyboard access to the Gnome Panel Notification area

Hi all,

Does any one know if it is possible to get to this area with the keyboard,

Control-Alt-TAB (cycles between panels and desktop, etc.).

and then is it possible to select different items there with the keyboard?

TAB, Shift-TAB, arrow keys. Control-TAB to get out of panel widgets that grab "TAB" for their own purposes. IOW, just like the rest of Gnome.

You might want to peruse the Gnome Accessibility Guide and the Keyboard Accessibility (draft) spec, which discuss Gnome keynav.
