<title>Filling out forms</title>

<p>
|

|
|
When interacting with web pages and other documents using <app>Cthulhu</app>,
|
||
|
|
you are interacting with the document itself; not a buffered copy of that
|
||
|
|
document. <app>Cthulhu</app>'s browse and focus modes let you switch between
|
||
|
|
reading and filling out forms.

<title>Navigating Amongst Form Fields</title>
|

<p>
|

|
To navigate amongst form fields, you have several options:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<list>
|
||
|
|
<item>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Use <key>Tab</key> and <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
|
||
|
|
to navigate amongst focusable objects, regardless of type.
|
||
|
|

Depending on the form and the application, you may also be
|
||
|
|
able to use the arrow keys to navigate to a given form field.
|
||
|

In order to use <app>Cthulhu</app>'s caret navigation or structural navigation
|
||
|
|
commands to navigate to a form field, you must be in browse mode. If you are
|
||
|
|
in focus mode, you can switch to browse mode by pressing <keyseq><key>Cthulhu
|
