## Managing the Focus

The SegmentedControl items are rendered as native `<button>` elements, which are natively focusable and included in the tab sequence of the page.

## Keyboard Navigation

The SegmentedControl supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

| Shortcut           | Behavior                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Tab`              | Moves focus to the next focusable item in the page.                                                                                                            |
| `Shift`+`Tab`      | Moves focus to the previous focusable item in the page.                                                                                                        |
| `Enter` or `Space` | Selects the focused item and triggers the [`onChange`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/buttons/api/segmentedcontrolprops#onChange) callback. |
