Selecting vs. Choosing
Introduction
Selecting
an item or field is different from
choosing
the item or field. Text fields can
only be chosen. Buttons, toggle buttons, and check boxes can be chosen and selected.
"Choosing" Definition
Using the
[Tab]
key or arrow keys moves the user to the various items on the screen by
highlighting one item at a time. An item is highlighted when a dark line appears
around it. When the item is highlighted that item is
chosen
but no action occurs.
"Selecting" Definition
Pressing the
[Spacebar]
selects
the chosen item on the screen. When an item is
selected the software performs the appropriate action.
Text fields cannot be selected, only chosen.
Selecting/Choosing by Mouse or Touch screen
Buttons, toggle buttons, and check boxes are selected with the user’s first action and
the
[Spacebar]
is not needed when using the mouse or touch screen.
