By default, the keyboard navigation of the Kendo UI ListView for Angular is disabled. To enable the keyboard navigation, set the navigable property to true.

The ListView supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

Controlling the Focus

To control the focus of the ListView items, use any of the following methods and props:

  • focus(index?: number)—Focuses the item at the targeted index. If no param is provided, the item that last received focus will be focused.
  • activeIndex—Gets the index of the item that last received focus. You can use this value as a starting point when you perform external navigation.

When the ListView is not navigable, the activeIndex property returns null and the focus method will no not have any effect.

The following example demonstrates how external focus management can be performed.
