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 their website or app access 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 Kendo UI for jQuery Filter is always available as demonstrated in this demo.

This Filter example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of jQuery demos, with which you can see all Kendo UI for jQuery components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in Kendo UI for jQuery Dojo or ThemeBuilder.

The Filter supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

Focus

  • Alt + W Focuses the component.

Keyboard Legend

  • Enter Enables the inner navigation of the currently focused filter row or filter expression row.
  • Esc Exits the inner navigation of the currently focused filter row or filter expression row.
  • Left Arrow Focuses the previous focusable element inside a filter row or filter expression row.
  • Right Arrow Focuses the next focusable element inside a filter row or filter expression row.
  • Up Arrow When the focus is on a filter row or filter expression row, the focus is moved to the previous filter row or filter expression row.
  • Down Arrow When the focus is on a filter row or filter expression row, the focus is moved to the next filter row or filter expression row.
