Navigation Problems

The Performance Analyzer provides keyboard navigation features for accessibility. Special actions are sometimes required to use some of these features. If you are having difficulty, check the list below for a link to the problem and workarounds.

Arrow keys do not work in the Timeline tab

The arrow keys are used to step between individual events, or between adjacent bars. However, to activate them it is necessary to use the zoom keys first. On the first entry into the Timeline tab, press Tab to enter the content pane, press Num Lock if the numeric lock is not already active, then press Ctrl-Plus. (If you want to return to the full display press Ctrl-Minus). The arrow keys should now be active. The Plus and Minus keys are the keys on the numeric keypad.

Shift-Tab does not work in the Experiments tab

The Shift-Tab key does not work. Use Ctrl-Shift-Tab to traverse the tab order in the reverse direction.

Cannot shift focus with Ctrl-Arrow keys

The Ctrl-Up arrow and Ctrl-Down arrow keys do not move keyboard focus without changing selection in the Functions tab and the Callers-Callees tab. To move focus in these tabs, use the Find tool in the toolbar. In the Functions tab, Find selects the found function; in the Callers-Callees tab, you must navigate to the pane that contains the found function and use the spacebar to select the found function.
