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 Upload is always available as demonstrated in this demo.

This Upload 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 Upload supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

Focus

  • Alt + W Focuses the component.

Supported Keys and User Actions

  • Tab Focuses the Select File button, or the Cancel or Upload action buttons after the file list.
  • Space or Enter Opens the Select file dialog if the Select files button is focused.
  • Down Arrow Highlights the next file in the file list, or the Clear button if the end of the list is reached.
  • Up Arrow Highlights the previous file in the file list, or the Select files button if the top of the list is reached.
  • Enter Retries the upload of the failed file when the focus is on a file list item, or starts the file upload for a valid file.
  • Esc Cancels the upload of the highlighted file when the focus is on a file list item.
  • Delete Removes the highlighted file when the focus is on a file list item.
  • Space When the chunk upload is enabled, starts or pauses the highlighted file upload.
  • Left Arrow or Right Arrow Navigates between the Play or Pause, Cancel, and Remove buttons of a highlighted file list item.
