<p>Do <em>NOT</em> use <code>ui:expanded</code> on this page. I know it's
31
tempting, but the target audience for this page is people who cannot use
32
a mouse, and having to expand sections when you're just figuring out how
33
to drive things with the keyboard is a burden.</p>

<p>The message tray isn't keyboard accessible. Watch <link href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672086">bug #672086</link>
39
and add an item here if it's fixed.</p>

<p>This page details keyboard navigation for people who cannot use a mouse or
43
other pointing device, or who want to use a keyboard as much as possible. For
44
keyboard shortcuts that are useful to all users, see
45
<link xref="shell-keyboard-shortcuts"/> instead.</p>
48
<p>If you cannot use a pointing device like a mouse, you can control the
49
mouse pointer using the numeric keypad on your keyboard. See
50
<link xref="mouse-mousekeys"/> for details.</p>
