# Keyboard Navigation

The keyboard navigation of the Sortable is always available.

For a complete example, refer to the [demo on keyboard navigation of the Sortable](https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/sortable/keyboard-navigation).

> In the right-to-left (RTL) mode, the behavior of the left and right `Arrow` keys is reversed.

| `Enter`                            | Focuses the first focusable element within the item's content (if any). Focus is trapped and wrapped within the item content. |
| `Escape`                           | When focus is on an internal element within a Sortable item, returns the focus to the item wrapper.                           |
| `Right Arrow / Down Arrow`         | Sets the focus on the next available item.                                                                                    |
| `Left Arrow / Up Arrow`            | Sets the focus on the previously available item.                                                                              |
| `Ctrl + Right Arrow / Down Arrow ` | Moves the focused item after the next item.                                                                                   |
| `Ctrl + Left Arrow / Up Arrow`     | Moves the focused item before the previous item.                                                                              |
