You can enable keyboard navigation in the RadGrid control by setting the ClientSettings.AllowKeyboardNavigation property to True (its default value is False). Currently the following features are supported:

• Access Keys: An access key is a key combination (e.g. Alt+F) that lets the user move focus to the grid and subsequently use the Up and Down arrow keys for navigation. The access key is defined using the AccessKey property. For example, setting the AccessKey property to "F" enables users to move focus to the grid by typing Alt+F.

• FocusKey: To specify the key combination that focuses the grid you need to set the FocusKey in the KeyBoardNavigationSettings tag property - the first key is preset to [CTRL] by design.

• InitInsertKey: Setting this property provides a shortcut for opening RadGrid insert form. The first key is preset to [CTRL] by design.

• RebindKey: Allows the users to rebind RadGrid. The first key is preset to [CTRL] by design.

• AllowActiveRowCycle: To allow the active row to cycle to the beginning upon having reached the end of the grid table, you have to set ClientSettings -> KeyboardNavigationSettings -> AllowActiveRowCycle property to true.

• Arrowkey Navigation: When arrow key navigation is enabled, users can navigate the rows of the grid using the up and down arrow keys.

• Selection: Users can select rows by pressing the [SPACE] key.

• Multi rows selection: When RadGrid AllowMultiRowSelection property is set to true, users can use the [CTRL] and [SHIFT] keys to simulate Windows Explorer-like selection.

• Editing: When editing is enabled, users can edit rows hitting the [ENTER] key. Then to update/insert rows they can use the [ENTER] key again. And to exit edit/insert mode without saving any changes, they can hit the [ESC] key.
