Navigate between content modes

Shortcuts
You can use your keyboard instead of your mouse to select a menu option. Mnemonic and keyboard shortcuts-including hot keys-save time. You do not have to complete multiple steps, such as clicking a menu and then clicking an option. Also, you do not have to take your hand off the keyboard to issue the command.
Mnemonic and standard keyboard shortcuts are enabled only when you have input focus on the web conferencing window. Focus is not required for hot keys.
