<entry>A Tree View allows you to select from a hierarchical list of options. A
section, or category, of the Tree View may be unexpanded, in which case no
options will appear beneath it and the arrow to the left of the title will be
pointing right, toward the title. It may also be expanded, in which case several
options will be listed below it, and the arrow to the left of the title will be
pointing down, toward the options. To expand a portion of the tree view, click
the arrow to the left of the title of the section you wish to expand,
double-click on the title, or select the title using your keyboard's arrow keys
and press the &Enter; or <keycap>+</keycap> key. To minimize a portion of the
tree view, you may also click the arrow, double-click on the title, or press the
&Enter; or <keycap>-</keycap> key.</entry>

<title>Common Keyboard Shortcuts</title>
<para>The &plasma-workspaces; provide keyboard shortcuts that allow you to
perform many tasks without touching your mouse. If you use your keyboard
frequently, using these can save you lots of time.</para>
<para>This list contains the most common shortcuts supported by the workspace
itself and many applications available within. Every application also provides
its own shortcuts, so be sure to check their manuals for a comprehensive
listing.</para>
<note><para>
The <keysym>Meta</keysym> key described below is a generic name for
the custom key found on many different keyboards. On keyboards
designed for &Microsoft; &Windows;, this key is usually called the
<keysym>Windows</keysym> key, and will have a picture of the &Windows;
logo. On keyboards designed for &Mac; computers, this key is known as
the <keysym>Command</keysym> key and will have a picture of the
<trademark class="registered">Apple</trademark> logo and/or the
<keycap>⌘</keycap> symbol. On keyboards designed for &UNIX; systems, this key
is really known as the <keysym>Meta</keysym> key and is typically labeled with a
diamond: <keycap>◆</keycap>.

<para>The shortcuts described in <link linkend="kbd-windows">Working With
Windows</link>, <link linkend="kbd-leaving">Leaving Your Computer</link>, and
<link linkend="kbd-vol-bright">Changing Volume and Brightness</link> are called
<emphasis>global shortcuts</emphasis>, since they work regardless of which
window you have open on your screen. These can be modified in the
<ulink url="help:/kcontrol/keys/">Global Shortcuts panel of
&systemsettings;</ulink>, where they are separated by &kde; component.</para>
<para>The shortcuts described in <link linkend="kbd-activities">Working with
Activities and Virtual Desktops</link> and <link linkend="kbd-desktop">Working
with the Desktop</link> can be modified by clicking on the
<ulink url="help:/plasma-desktop/using-kapp.html">Desktop Toolbox</ulink> and
selecting <guimenuitem>Shortcut Settings</guimenuitem>.</para>
<para>The shortcuts described in <link linkend="kbd-docs">Working with
Documents</link> and <link linkend="kbd-help">Getting Help</link> are set by
individual programs. Most &kde; programs allow you to use the
<link linkend="shortcuts">common shortcut editing dialog</link> to modify these.
The shortcuts described in <link linkend="kbd-files">Working With Files</link>
can be edited in the same manner when used inside a file manager like &dolphin;
or &konqueror;, but cannot be modified in the case of Open/Save dialogs, &etc;
