.NET MAUI AutoComplete Keyboard Support
Updated on Nov 7, 2025
Telerik UI for .NET MAUI AutoComplete provides keyboard navigation support on WinUI and Mac Catalyst.
The following table lists the actions and keyboard combinations that are available in the AutoComplete control:
| Hotkey Combinations | Action |
|---|---|
Tab | Focuses the control and opens the suggestion view. |
Enter | Commits the selected item from the suggestion view and closes the suggestion view. |
Esc | Takes effect only when the suggestion view is opened. It closes the suggestion view of the AutoComplete control. |
Up Arrow / Down Arrow | When the suggestion view is opened, pressing Up/Down Arrows changes the highlighted item in the suggestion view list. |
PageUp / PageDown | When the suggestion view is opened, pressing PageUp/PageDown changes the highlighted item. PageUp navigates to the first item in the visible area, PageDown navigates to the last item in the visible area. |
Backspace (WinUI) | When there are tokens in the input area, pressing the Backspace key deletes the token. |
The first item in the suggestion view is highlighted by default (set as CuttentItem) when the view gets opened.
