Application environment
=======================

LServerAdmin application environment is **dialog based using ncurses**. This may be not so modern looking, but after using it for a while, it can be rather fast.

Some tips are shown below:

.. [t1] Use **keyboard** and not mouse to navigate through the application. Although mouse can be used in most dialogs, it is not fast or user friendly in ncurses environment.
.. [t2] Use **up and down arrows** and not TAB, to move between **fields** in an input dialog. 
.. [t3] Use **TAB** to switch from input fields to **OK or Cancel/Return** buttons.
.. [t4] Press **SPACE** to select/unselect an option in a **radio button** dialog or a **multi selection** dialog. 
.. [t5] Press **ESC** to cancel and return from any dialog or menu.
.. [t6] Press the **number** or the **first letter** of a menu item (highlighted red), to move quickly to a menu.
.. [t7] In a folder selection dialog. Select **.. ^** : to we go to the parent folder. Select **This Folder**: to choose the folder we are inside and finish browsing. Press the **first letter** of a folder one or more times, to select it.
