Keyboard control
The Flex client can be controlled by keyboard. For controlling by keyboard you have to set the focus on the application. This happens by clicking (if necessary with the keyboard mouse) on the application. Generally you can set the focus by pressing TAB or SHIFT+TAB or by the arrow keys. This depends on the currently used component. The space bar or sometimes the Enter bar is generally used to confirm a selection.
