The only exception is saving in a dialog, where Cmd+S also works on a Mac. ### Anywhere in the main window

### Moving around with the keyboard * Tab and Shift+Tab move between controls. Space or Enter activate the focused button, toggle or menu item, including the left menu and the ***More*** menu. * After you change pages with Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+6 or Ctrl+Tab, focus moves to the selected page in the left menu, so screen readers announce where you are. Press Tab to move into the page. ## Screen readers UniGetUI exposes its interface to Windows Narrator, NVDA, JAWS, macOS VoiceOver and other screen readers through the platform accessibility APIs. * Buttons, icons, toggles and fields have names, including icon-only buttons such as reload or delete. * UniGetUI announces, without moving focus: * the page you just opened, * when an operation starts, finishes or fails (failures interrupt the current speech), * when a toggle setting turns on or off, * when you select all packages or clear the selection, * input errors, for example a missing source name. * Dialogs are modal: while one is open, the keyboard stays inside it, and Esc closes it. ## Visual and motion settings UniGetUI follows your system settings rather than adding its own:

SYSTEM SETTING	EFFECT IN UNIGETUI
Windows: Animation effects off · macOS: Reduce motion on · Linux (GNOME): animations off	Turns off interface animations.
Light or dark mode	Followed when Application theme: is Follow system color scheme.
Text size, display scaling	Applied by the operating system.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/unigetui/reference/keyboard-shortcuts-and-accessibility.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
