Keyboard Navigation

The keyboard navigation of the TimeLine is always available.

In its vertical mode when the TimeLine is focused, the first card gets focused. In its horizontal mode when the TimeLine is focused, the timeline scrollable wrap element gets focused.

For a complete example, refer to the demo on keyboard navigation of the TimeLine showing how to focus the component when in the vertical mode.

To focus the component with the ALT + W key combination when in its horizontal mode, use the .k-timeline-scrollable-wrap class as a selector.

$(document.body).keydown(function (e) {
    if (e.altKey && e.keyCode == 87) {
        $(".k-timeline-scrollable-wrap").focus();
    }
});
