| No Java equivalent | Navigate in - Tab, Alt+mnemonic | Navigate in - Tab, arrow keys (although it's hard to tell, since in Nautilus the list view almost always has focus). | Navigate in - Tab, Alt+mnemonic | TBD |
| " | Navigate out - Tab, Shift+Tab, Alt+Mnemonic | Navigate out - Tab, arrow keys, Alt+mnemonic? | Navigate out - Tab, Alt+Mnemonic | TBD |
| " | Navigate within-
Ctrl+Arrow keys: move to the next item in the indicated direction, without selecting it. In Details viewthere is only one column, so right and left arrows scroll the window a small amount to the right or left. In List view the Up and Down arrows wrap between columns. Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn: Move to the bottom or top item on the screen without selecting. Use a second time to move to the item one screen above or below. Backspace: display the contents of the parent directory (if list is being used in a file manager context) |
