PC Mode
In PC mode, the Easy Access Bar allows to navigate through an application. Easy
Access Bar keys will emulate PC keyboard functions:

Combined Mode
The combined mode includes both screen navigation and cursor movement
features. When you move the Easy Access Bar up or down, the cursor is moved
one line up or down as well (cf. PC mode). When you move the Easy Access Bar
to the right, the function is the same as in navigation mode if the text line is
longer than the display is. The cursor remains at the original position. Once all
the text of that line has been displayed, another “read forwards” command will
move both the cursor and the display to the next line. Pushing the Easy Access
Bar one step left corresponds to “read backwards” if you are within a long line of
text. Otherwise, both cursor and display are moved one line up.
In analogy to the navigation mode, two marker positions can be reached
directly: the title bar (with 2 steps up) and the last window line, which typically
corresponds to a status line (with 2 steps down). This will NOT move the cursor.
The main reading functions (read forwards and backwards) have a double
assignment: they can be reached with both the first step and the second step
right or left.
