Keyboard when list is focused upon:  Up, Down, Page Up, Page Down, Ctrl + Page Up, Ctrl + Page Down

 

Scrollbar located on the right-side of list.  Please note that when a list is large, this scroll bar will not always produce accurate results due to paged loading.  This is where only a subset of items (one page) are loaded rather than the entire file.  Page-loading gives the fastest performance possible, but it is not possible to accurately determine the scrollbar's relative location within the file. We recommend using the VCR or keyboard on lists with over 10 pages of information.
