Description

Keyboard navigation provides all web and app users with a fast keyboard-only navigation capability and is also part of the web accessibility features—it enables users with disabilities to fully control or access their website application through the keyboard.

By default, users can only navigate to links, buttons, and form controls with a keyboard. The navigation order in which interactive items receive keyboard focus has to be logical and intuitive. Generally, keyboard navigation logic needs to follow the visual horizontal and vertical flow of the page, for example, left to right and top to bottom, header first followed by the main and then the page navigation.

The keyboard navigation of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DateRangePicker is always available as demonstrated in this demo.

The DateRangePicker supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

Focus:

  • Alt + w focuses the widget

Closed popup:

  • enter triggers change event
  • esc closes the popup
  • alt down arrow opens the popup
  • alt up arrow closes the popup

Opened popup (date view):

  • left arrow highlights previous day
  • right arrow highlights next day
  • up arrow highlights same day from the previous week
  • down arrow highlights same day from the next week
  • shift arrow performs range selection
  • ctrl left arrow navigates to previous set of views
  • ctrl right arrow navigates to next set of views
  • ctrl up arrow navigates to previous view
  • ctrl down arrow navigates to next view
  • home highlights first day of the month
  • end highlights last day of the month
  • t selects the current date
