Question

How does KeyboardNavigation work?

Edit

Answer

KeyboardNavigation allows navigating through all the elements present in the user interface.

Three keyboard navigation modes are available: Tab Navigation, Directional Navigation and Control Tab Navigation.

Tab Navigation is the action of moving the focus from control to control in a logical sequence using the Tab and Shift-Tab keys.

Directional Navigation is the action of moving the focus from control to control in a given direction (based on physical location, not on logical sequence) using the arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, and Right).

Control Tab Navigation is a special type of navigation, only supported by certain types of control (such as the TabControl), using the Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab keys.
