Register Shortcut
Additional shortcuts can be registered in the TaskBoard, with the registerShortcut client-side API method.
The following example demonstrates how to register a shortcut for focusing the last card in the TaskBoard.
$(document).ready(function() {
var taskBoard = $("#taskBoard").data("kendoTaskBoard");
taskBoard.registerShortcut("*", {
keyCode: "q",
ctrlKey: true
}, {
handler: function () {
taskBoard.items().last().focus();
}
});
});
