Keyboard Navigation

The keyboard navigation of the Dialog is always available.

When the Dialog is opened, the initial focus is set on the primary button. This approach enables the user to immediately select or navigate between the action buttons by using the Left and Right arrow keys, and to close the Dialog with the Esc button.

Note: The Esc key will close the Dialog only when focus is on built-in elements like the action buttons, title bar, or the Dialog itself. If the content contains a focusable element like an and that element is in focus, the Esc key will not close the Dialog.
