DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Keyboard Support

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

Key Action
← Moves focus to the previous tab.
→ Moves focus to the next tab.
Shift + Mouse Wheel Scrolls the tabs left/right if the scrollingEnabled option is true.

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

JavaScript
  • function registerKeyHandlers () {
  •     let tabs =  $("#tabsContainer").dxTabs("instance");
  •     tabs.registerKeyHandler("backspace", function (e) {
  •         // The argument "e" contains information on the event
  •     });
  •     tabs.registerKeyHandler("space", function (e) {
  •         // ...
  •     });
  • }
