<!-- CB-Ed: The following paragraphs are VERY GOOD because they lay out terms and definitions for the reader clearly and unequivocally. -->

      <para>For most users, the mouse provides the main way of interacting with graphical user interfaces.  The term "mouse" is used in this chapter to include other pointing devices that can be used to move the pointer around the screen, such as trackballs, trackpads, spaceballs, graphics tablets, or assistive technology devices that emulate a mouse.</para>
	
      <para>For right-handed users, the left button on a conventional mouse is used for the majority of mouse actions. We therefore call it the <mousebutton>left button</mousebutton> here, even though that may not physically be the case.  For this reason, you may sometimes see this button referred to in code or documentation as "Button 1" or the "Selection Button".</para>

      <para>Similarly for right-handed users, the right button on a conventional mouse is used for operations involving pop-up menus. We therefore call it the <mousebutton>right button</mousebutton> in this chapter.  You may sometimes see this button referred to in code or documentation as "Button 3" or the "Menu Button".</para>

      <para>A conventional mouse with three buttons normally has its third button (or a scrollwheel that acts as a button when pushed) between the left and right buttons.  We therefore call it the <mousebutton>middle button</mousebutton>, but you may sometimes see this referred to in code or documentation as "Button 2" or the "Transfer Button".</para>

	<title>Choosing Access Keys</title>

	<para>Give all labelled components an access key (underlined letter), with the exception of toolbar controls which would use up too many access key combinations.</para>

<!-- Consensus was against giving OK and Cancel additional access keys, but they have them anyway and Owen refuses to remove them...

	<note>
	  <title>For discussion</title>
	  <para>It's been suggested that even OK and Cancel should have access keys, as this is more obvious to newer users.  (KDE does this).  What do we think?  Advantages: means you do not always have to have an Enter-operated default button in dialogs where this might lead you to close the dialog by mistake.  Disadvantages: Adds an extra way for people to do things, potentially adding the "dither" factor; uses up O and C access keys, which could be awkward in larger/tabbed dialogs.</para>
	</note>
-->

	<para>Choose access keys to be as easy to remember as possible.  Normally, this means using the first letter of the label.  However, in complex windows, the choice can become more difficult.  Here are some simple rules:</para>

	<orderedlist>
	    <listitem><para>Assign access keys to the most frequently-used controls first.  If it's not clear which controls will be the most frequently used, assign access keys from left to right, top to bottom (for Western locales).</para></listitem>


	  <listitem><para>Use the first letter of the label, or of one of its other words if it has more than one.  If another letter provides a better association (e.g. "x" in <guilabel>Extra Large</guilabel>) however, consider using that letter instead.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>If the first letter is not available, choose an easy to remember consonant from the label, for example, "p" in <guilabel>Replace</guilabel>.</para></listitem>
 
	  <listitem><para>If no such consonants are available, choose any available vowel from the label.</para></listitem>
	</orderedlist>

	   <para>If duplication of access keys in a window is unavoidable, you should still refrain from duplicating the access keys for any of these buttons that appear in the same window: <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>, <guibutton>Close</guibutton>, <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> or <guibutton>Help</guibutton>.</para>

	   <para>Also, it is better not to assign access keys to "thin" letters (such as lowercase i or l), or letters with descenders (such as lowercase g or y) unless it is unavoidable.  The underline does not show up very well on those characters in some fonts.</para>


	<para>Applications using a non-Roman writing system in conjunction with a standard keyboard can have control labels prefixed with Roman characters as access keys.</para>

      <sect2 id="shortcuts">
	<title>Choosing Shortcut Keys</title>

	<para>The tables in <xref linkend="standard-shortcuts"/> summarize the standard shortcut keys to use when your application supports those functions.  Your application will not necessarily support all of these functions, see <xref linkend="menus-standard"/> for more information.  However, use the recommended shortcut keys for those functions you do support.</para> 

	<para>You will probably want to add your own shortcut keys for functions specific to your application.  If so, as well as following the guidelines below, look at any other existing similar applications to see which shortcut keys they have defined.  Your users may already be using those or similar applications, so being consistent where it is possible and sensible to do so will provide a better user experience for them when they begin to use yours.</para>

	<itemizedlist><title>Richtlinien</title>

	  <listitem><para>Use <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keysym>letter</keysym></keycombo> in preference to other combinations when choosing new shortcut keys.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para><keycap>Insert</keycap>, <keycap>Delete</keycap>, <keycap>Home</keycap>, <keycap>End</keycap>, <keycap>Page Up</keycap> and <keycap>Page Down</keycap> are acceptable shortcut keys for functions that are closely related to those keys' normal system-defined uses.  Do not assign them to unrelated functions just because you've run out of other shortcut key combinations, however.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>Only assign shortcut keys to the most commonly-used actions in your application.  Do not try to assign a shortcut key to everything.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>Choose new shortcut keys to be as mnemonic as possible, as these will be easier to learn and remember.  For example, <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>E</keycap></keycombo> would be a good shortcut for a menu item called <guimenuitem>Edit Page</guimenuitem>.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>Use <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>letter</keycap></keycombo> for functions that reverse or extend another function.  For example, <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Z</keycap></keycombo> and <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Z</keycap></keycombo> for <guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Redo</guimenuitem>.
	<note><title>Unicode entry shortcuts</title><para>Note that you cannot use <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>A-thru-F</keycap></keycombo> or <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>0-thru-9</keycap></keycombo> for your own purposes, as these combinations are used to enter unicode characters in text fields.</para></note>
	</para></listitem>
	  
	  <listitem><para>Do not use <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>number</keycap></keycombo> or numbered function keys as shortcut keys, unless the number has some obvious relevance to the action.  For example, <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>2</keycap></keycombo> and <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>3</keycap></keycombo> may be acceptable shortcut keys for <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>2D View</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>3D View</guimenuitem></menuchoice> in a 3D modelling application.</para></listitem>
	  	  
	  <listitem><para>Do not use <keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>key</keycap></keycombo> combinations for shortcut keys, as these may conflict with window manager or menu access keys.</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>Do not use symbols that require <keycap>Shift</keycap> or other modifiers as part of a shortcut, for example <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>%</keycap></keycombo>.  Remember that symbols that can be accessed without a modifier key on your keyboard may be more difficult to access on different international keyboards.</para></listitem>
	  
	  <listitem><para>Do not assign shortcut keys to menu items that change over time, for example a list of open windows on the <guimenu>Window</guimenu> menu, or a recently-used file list on the <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu.  Do assign access keys to these items, however.</para></listitem>
	  <listitem><para>Do not use any of the standard shortcut keys listed in <xref linkend="standard-shortcuts"/> for your own purposes,  even if your application doesn't support those functions.  This helps reinforce consistency between all GNOME applications.</para></listitem>

	<title>Keyboard Interaction with Panel Applications (Applets)</title>

	<para>Panels have been fully keyboard navigable since GNOME 2.0.  Since your panel application can gain keyboard focus, you must ensure that it is also keyboard navigable.</para>

	<para>The rules for panel application keyboard navigation are mostly the same as those for any other window.  However, there is one imporant difference:</para>

	<itemizedlist>
	  <listitem><para>Do <emphasis>not</emphasis> use the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key as the means of moving focus between controls in a panel application.  Use the arrow keys for this purpose instead.</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>

	<para>When an object on a panel has focus, the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key normally moves focus to the next object on the panel.  If your panel application also used <keycap>Tab</keycap> for its own internal navigation, the user would have to press <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Tab</keycap></keycombo> to move focus out of your panel application instead.  This inconsistency would be detrimental to the user experience.</para>
