LyteNyte Grid supports extensive keyboard shortcuts to improve navigation, editing, and accessibility. It follows the ARIA Grid Pattern and adds extra keybindings for power users. Read the ARIA pattern first, then use this guide for LyteNyte-specific bindings.

Navigation

Use the arrow keys (←, →, ↑, ↓) to move between header and grid cells. The Tab key follows natural DOM order, but LyteNyte treats the grid as a single tab stop. This prevents users from having to tab through every cell.

Ctrl → : Jump to the last cell in the current row or header
Ctrl ← : Jump to the first cell in the current row or header
Ctrl ↑ : Focus the first row (when on a grid cell)
Ctrl ↓ : Focus the last row (when on a grid cell)

Expanding Selection

When cellSelectionMode is set to range, hold Shift while pressing ←, →, ↑, or ↓ to expand or shrink the active selection.

Editable Cells

For editable cells (see Cell Editing):

• Press Enter to enter edit mode.
• Press Enter again to confirm and trigger onCellEdit.
• Press Esc to cancel and revert the value.

Touch Interactions

LyteNyte Grid works seamlessly on touch devices. Browser click events fire on tap, and the grid uses these events for its interaction listeners.
