Keyboard Navigation
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:
| SHORTCUT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Right Arrow & Down Arrow | Moves the focus to the next item. If the focus is on the last item, the focus does not move. |
Left Arrow & Up Arrow | Moves the focus to the previous item. If the focus is on the first item, the focus does not move. |
Home | Moves the focus to the first rendered item. |
End | Moves the focus to the last rendered item. |

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, theactiveIndexproperty returnsnulland thefocusmethod will no not have any effect.
The following example demonstrates how external focus management can be performed.
