The installer and the launchpad support the assistive technology
features outlined in the IBM® Java™ Accessibility checklist. Keyboard shortcuts
allow navigation and selection of graphical user interface components without
use of a mouse.
For further information on accessibility, see the IBM Java Accessibility websitehttp://www-306.ibm.com/able/guidelines/java/accessjava.html.
All operating system keyboard accessibility features
are maintained. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:
- Navigate among graphical components by using the Tab key.
- Select a button within a component by using the Space bar
or Enter key, then use Enter as
needed to choose the selected item.
- Cancel the installation or uninstallation action by tabbing to the Cancel key
and then either usingAlt + C or
the Enter key.
When working with the installer, use the Space bar
to accept the license (by selecting the radio button), then use the Enter key
to proceed to the next screen.
The assistive technology features include the following:
- Focus. Assistive technology readers read the object in focus. The
installer and the launchpad feature visual indicators, including highlighted
objects and a visual cursor and movement.
- Color. Color is not used to provide status or information.
- Contrast. The installer and the launchpad inherit system contrast
settings. System contrast settings are configurable.
- Support system settings. Settings for size, font, and color for
all user interface controls are inherited from the operating system.
- Non-animated presentation mode. The installer incorporates animation
for the install and uninstall progress display only. Assistive technology
readers announce the installation and uninstallation actions and read the
progress of these processes as percentages completed.
- Controls, objects, and icon labels. All the installer and launchpad
components are named and a description for each is provided. No icons are
used. Labels are associated with components, and are detected and read by
assistive technology readers.
