Re: [orca-list] Evolution Questions

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I don't know if any one else has answered this yet as I get the list
digest. The answer is use + (plus) to open a collapsed item and -
(minus) to close an expanded item. This isn't specific to evolution, but
it is usual for all GTK treeviews. You may find it useful to read the
gnome keyboard shortcuts as gnome while being very similar in some ways
to using windows does have some slight differences in keyboard
navigation.
