Keyboard Navigation
The keyboard navigation of the ContextMenu is always available.
For a runnable example, refer to the demo on using the keyboard navigation of the ContextMenu.
When the ContextMenu is focused, the first root item is activated.
The ContextMenu supports the following keyboard shortcuts:
| SHORTCUT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Home | Focuses the first item. |
End | Focuses the last item. |
Left Arrow | When a root item is focused, opens the item group and focuses the last child. When a child item is focused, closes the item group and focuses the parent item. |
Right Arrow | If the item has children, opens the item and focuses the first child. For child items without children, focuses and opens the next root item. |
Up Arrow | Focuses the previous item. |
Down Arrow | Focuses the next item. |
Enter or Space | Selects the focused item. If the item has children, opens the item group and focuses the first child. If the item does not have children and has a URL, navigates to the specified URL. |
Shift + Tab | Tabs away from the ContextMenu on the next focusable page element. |
Shift + F10 | When the target element is focused, the command opens the ContextMenu. |
Esc | Closes the innermost open group. If no item group is opened, closes the ContextMenu. |
