Vue Calendar - Keyboard Support

An end user can use the following keys to interact with the UI component.

Key Action
← → ↑ ↓ Moves focus to the day nearby.
Page Up or Ctrl + ← Displays the previous month.
Page Down or Ctrl + → Displays the next month.
Enter Selects the focused day.
Ctrl + ↑ Increases zoomLevel.
Ctrl + ↓ Decreases zoomLevel.
Home Moves focus to the first date in the view.
End Moves focus to the last date in the view.

You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.

  • <template>
  • <DxCalendar :ref="myCalendarRef" />
  • </template>
  • <script>
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
  •  
  • import DxCalendar from 'devextreme-vue/calendar';
  •  
  • const myCalendarRef = 'my-calendar';
  •  
  • export default {
  • components: {
  • DxCalendar
  • },
  • data() {
  • return {
  • myCalendarRef
  • }
  • },
  • computed: {
  • calendar: function() {
  • return this.$refs[myCalendarRef].instance;
  • }
  • },
  • mounted: function() {
  • this.calendar.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
  • // The argument "e" contains information on the event
  • });
  • this.calendar.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
  • // ...
  • });
  • }
  • }
  • </script>
