Keyboard Navigation
Updated on Oct 9, 2026
The hosted ToolBar supports keyboard navigation between its commands. When draggable is true, the FloatingToolBar also renders a drag handle that can be used to reposition the toolbar without a pointer.
Navigate the Toolbar
Use Tab to move focus into and out of the toolbar. Within the toolbar, use the left and right arrow keys to move between commands. Home and End move focus to the first and last command. Use Enter or Space to activate a focused command.
Move the Toolbar
- Tab to the drag handle.
- Press
Mto enter keyboard Move mode. - Press an arrow key to move the toolbar by 10 pixels in that direction. The live region announces each movement.
- Press
EnterorMto commit the position. PressEscapeto restore the position from before Move mode.
Alt+W is not a built-in FloatingToolBar shortcut. To add such a shortcut, handle the keydown event of the document and call the widget's focus() method.
