# Keyboard-only Navigation

### Using Parallels RAS Without a Mouse

#### Focusing the Application Listing Box

* Press `Tab` repeatedly until the input box is highlighted (announced by screen readers as "text input" or similar).
* You can also press `/` as a shortcut in some interfaces (if supported) to jump to the input.

#### Launching an Application

* Press `Tab` repeatedly until you have reached the Application Listing box.
* Press `Tab` to move through the applications published for you.

#### Accessing Settings and Profile

* Press `Tab` to reach your profile button.
* Press `Space` or `Enter` to open the menu.
* Use `Arrow Keys` to move between menu options.
* Press `Space` or `Enter` to activate a setting or navigate.

#### Screen Reader and Browser Tips

* Explore with `Tab`, `Arrow Keys`, or custom screen reader shortcuts.
* If using Safari browser on macOS, it is recommended to turn on **Keyboard Navigation** in macOS Settings (**Apple symbol** -> **System Settings** ->  **Keyboard** -> **Keyboard Navigation**), which will enable the `Tab` key to be better used for in-browser navigation.
* If Microsoft Narrator is used, it can sometimes interfere with the action of pressing the space bar or enter to select items. To work around this, you can toggle Narrator off using the key combination `Windows Key` + `CTRL` + `Enter` carry out the task & then re-enable Narrator using the same key combination.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-user-portal-guide/keyboard-only-navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
