Keyboard Navigation
By default, the keyboard navigation of the Kendo UI Pager for Angular is disabled. To enable keyboard navigation, set the navigable attribute to true.
The Pager supports the following keyboard shortcuts:
For all scenarios:
| SHORTCUT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Home | Loads the first page of data. |
End | Loads the last page of data. |
When the wrapper is focused:
| SHORTCUT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Enter | Activates inner Pager navigation. |
Tab | Moves the focus to the next focusable element on the page. |
Shift & Tab | Moves the focus to the previous focusable element on the page. |
Left Arrow | Loads the previous page of data. |
Right Arrow | Loads the next page of data. |
Page Up | Loads the previous page of data. |
Page Down | Loads the next page of data. |
When inner navigation is activated:
| SHORTCUT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Escape | Moves focus back to wrapper element. Deactivates inner Pager navigation. |
Tab | Moves the focus to the next focusable element in the Pager. If current focus is on the last element, moves focus to the first focusable item in the component. |
Shift & Tab | Moves the focus to the previous focusable element in the Pager. If current focus is on the first element, moves focus to the last focusable item in the component. |
Enter | Executes the currently focused element action. |
Using the Template
When the PagerTemplateDirective is utilized, all custom elements which can receive focus either through the Tab sequence or through direct interaction must be decorated with the kendoPagerFocusable directive. It registers the focusable elements with the Pager and includes them in the built-in keyboard navigation. The directive can be applied to both regular input elements, such as inputs and buttons, and composite components, such as drop-down lists.
The following example demonstrates how to decorate a slider inside the template by using kendoPagerFocusable.
