JavaScript/jQuery Tabs - Keyboard Support
An end user can use the following keys to interact with the UI component.
Key | Action |
---|---|
← ↑ or PageUp | Moves focus to the previous tab. |
→ ↓ or PageDown | Moves focus to the next tab. |
Home | Moves focus to the first tab. |
End | Moves focus to the last tab. |
Enter or Space | Selects the tab. Available only if selectionMode is set to 'multiple'. |
Shift + Mouse Wheel | Scrolls the tabs left/right if the scrollingEnabled property is true. |
You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.
