using the up and down arrow keys. You would press shift f6 to bring focus to
the tree view which lists the folders on your computer. It’s called a tree view
because it is a list that is like an upside down tree that has branches that
stick out to the right. You navigate the tree view with up, down, left or right
arrows. The top of the tree is level zero. Each level is a folder that can be
either open or closed. Right arrow opens a folder and left arrow closes a folder.
When you open a folder, sub folders are revealed and the screen reader will
tell you how many items there are and you can arrow down to those sub folders. Those
sub folders are one level higher. For example, if you open the level zero
folder, the sub folders are level one. If you open a level one folder, the sub
folders are level two and so on. When you open a folder, you navigate to the
sub folders with the down arrow and when you do that you are going down the
tree. Use the up arrow to go up the tree. Use the left arrow to close open
folders.
