Hi All:

I am using the listBox component and found that the list cannot be selected through tabs or the up and down arrows on the keyboard. It can only be operated through the up and down buttons on the toolbar.

Is it not supported?
Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance

Hello, Hu,

Currently, the ListBox component does not have built-in keyboard navigation but this is a feature that we plan to implement as part of our accessibility effort. Nevertheless, you can implement your own keyboard navigation logic since the component has the onKeyDown method, and this is demonstrated in the following KB article:

We also have a feature request in our feedback portal for adding keyboard navigation to the component. Therefore, I added a vote on your behalf in order to increase its priority:

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.

Regards,
Wissam
