# Keyboard Support

A typical business application needs to support "heads-down" data entry that avoids the use of the mouse. With RadGridView the user can:

* Navigate the grid using only the arrow keys.

* Edit rows using the **F2** or **Enter** keys, depending on the **BeginEditMode** value.

|   | **Key**     | **Description**                                  |
| - | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|   | Up Arrow    | moves the selection up                           |
|   | Down Arrow  | moves the selection down                         |
|   | Left Arrow  | moves the selection left                         |
|   | Right Arrow | moves the selection right                        |
|   | Enter       | Opens the cell editor / Commits the changes      |
|   | F2          | Opens the cell editor                            |
|   | Esc         | Deactivates cell editor and discards the changes |
