Searching in screens

If you have a list displayed in Xena and you're looking for something specific, you can use Chrome's built-in search function to find what you need.

With the list visible, press Ctrl + F to open the search function. If your list has many results, consider configuring Xena to display 100 results per page. Chrome searches only on the current page you see.

The search field appears at the top of your browser. Enter what you're looking for here. The search is performed as you type. Results are highlighted, and you can use the arrow keys in the search field to navigate between the found results.

If you want to search on the next page, you first need to change pages in Xena, and then you'll have to edit the search text to make Chrome repeat the search on the new page.

'Skip to Content' shortcut

If you prefer using the keyboard over the mouse when navigating in Xena, you can benefit from this shortcut. The shortcut moves the tab focus directly into the current screen, instead of having to tab through the entire Xena menu:

1. When you switch to a new screen in Xena, press the Tab key
2. At the top left corner, a blue button with the text 'Skip to content' will appear
3. Press Enter, and the focus will immediately move into the current screen
4. You can now use the Tab key to navigate within the screen
