Multiple-selection list boxes

Two widgets in the IBM Cúram Social Program Management application contain multiple-selection list boxes, the transfer list widget and the multiple-selection widget. You can use a specific keyboard command to make multiple selections at the same time in these widgets.

A multiple-selection list box displays multiple selection options at the same time so that the user can make multiple selections. A keyboard or screen reader user must use specific keyboard commands to make multiple selections.

The following steps describe how to select multiple items with a keyboard, a screen reader, or a combination.

The Microsoft™ Edge browser is supported for accessibility in Social Program Management.

Complete the following steps to select multiple items on the transfer list widget and the multiple selection widget with Microsoft Edge.

1. Give focus to the multiple-selection form field by using the Tab key.
2. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to navigate through items and move the selected state with focus, that is, single selection.
3. Press Shift and the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys to move focus and to toggle the selected state of the previous or next option, that is, multiple adjacent selections.
4. Press Ctrl+Alt and the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys to move focus without the selected state. In this mode, press the Space bar to change the selected state of each highlighted item, that is, multiple selections.
