# Keyboard Navigation

The keyboard navigation of the Window is always available.

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

The Window supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

| SHORTCUT             | DESCRIPTION                                   |
| :------------------- | :-------------------------------------------- |
| `Up Arrow`           | Moves the Window upwards.                     |
| `Down Arrow`         | Moves the Window downwards.                   |
| `Left Arrow`         | Moves the Window to the left.                 |
| `Right Arrow`        | Moves the Window to the right.                |
| `Ctrl`+`Up Arrow`    | Narrows the Window in a vertical direction.   |
