You can use the keyboard to drop a component from the palette onto
the Design view of the visual editor for Java.
To drop a component from the palette using the keyboard only,
use one of the following options:
- Use the Source view to type or enter the Java code.
- Use the MS accessibility tool to map the mouse to the keyboard
and use as follows:
- Use the workbench keyboard shortcut to get to the tool bar (F10, and tabs),
then select the ChooseBean Action with the arrow key down. From the menu items,
select the component you want to drop using the enter key.
- Use the numeric keypad to move your loaded cursor to the area in the canvas
you want to drop (you can change the location later from the source code).
- Use the + numeric key to drop the bean. You can use the Property view
or source view to change the properties of the component.
