<title>Filling out forms</title>
<p>
When interacting with web pages and other documents using <app>Orca</app>,
you are interacting with the document itself; not a buffered copy of that
document. <app>Orca</app>'s browse and focus modes let you switch between
reading and filling out forms.

<section id="navigating_amongst_form_fields">
<title>Navigating Amongst Form Fields</title>
<p>
To navigate amongst form fields, you have several options:
</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>
Use <key>Tab</key> and <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
to navigate amongst focusable objects, regardless of type.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Use <app>Orca</app>'s <link xref="commands_structural_navigation#forms">
structural navigation commands for forms</link>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Depending on the form and the application, you may also be
able to use the arrow keys to navigate to a given form field.
</p>
</item>
</list>
<note style="tip">

in focus mode, you can switch to browse mode by pressing <keyseq><key>Orca
Modifier</key><key>A</key></keyseq>.

next/previous focusable object, regardless of type.
