Table C-3 Adjusting the Row and Cell Selection
| Action for keyboard | Key(s) | Notes for keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Adjust the range of selected cells and rows one row up | (All) Shift+Up Arrow |
(LUX) The multiSelect option must be true; otherwise, this has the same behavior as Up Arrow without Shift (LUX) Moves cell focus one row up; the newly focused cell also becomes selected (LUX) The row containing the newly focused cell becomes focused and selected (LUX) Generally selects a range of cells and rows from the "initially selected" row to the newly focused row with the newly focused cell If the focused cell and focused row are moved without changing the selection. For example, with Control+Up/Down Arrow, then this action generally selects a range of rows from the currently focused row to one row above it |
| Adjust the range of selected cells and rows one row down | (All) Shift+Down Arrow |
(LUX) The multiSelect option must be true; otherwise, this has the same behavior as Down Arrow without Shift (LUX) Moves cell focus one row down; the newly focused cell also becomes selected (LUX) The row containing the newly focused cell becomes focused and selected (LUX) Generally selects a range of cells and rows from the "initially selected" row to the newly focused row with the newly selected cell If the focused cell and focused row are moved without updating the selection, e.g., with Control+Up/Down Arrow, then this action generally selects a range of rows from the currently focused row to one row below it |
| Move focus one column to the left (and update cell selection) | (LUX) Shift+Left Arrow |
(LUX) Moves cell focus and selection(s) one column to the left (selection can be multiple cells if multiple rows are currently selected) (LUX) If the currently focused cell is the first cell of the row, then behaves the same as Left Arrow without Shift |
| Move focus one column to the right (and update cell selection) | (LUX) Shift+Right Arrow |
(LUX) Moves cell focus and selection(s) one column to the right (selection can be multiple cells if multiple rows are currently selected) (LUX) If the currently focused cell is the last cell of the row, then behaves the same as Right Arrow without Shift |
| Move focus one row up (no change to selection) | (All) Control+Up Arrow |
(LUX) The row containing the newly focused cell becomes focused (LUX) Note: Enables selection of non-contiguous rows with Control+Space (LUX) There is no wrap at the first or last rows (LUX) If the currently focused row is the first data row, this has the same behavior as Up Arrow without Shift |
| Move focus one row down (no change to selection) | (All) Control+Down Arrow |
(LUX) The row containing the newly focused cell becomes focused (LUX) Note: Enables selection of non-contiguous rows with Control+Space (LUX) There is no wrap at the first or last rows |
| Select the current row |
(WAI-ARIA) Shift+Space (LUX) Control+Space |
(LUX) Toggles selection of currently focused row (LUX) The multiSelect option must be true; otherwise, this has the same behavior as Space without Control |
| Select the current column |
(WAI-ARIA) Control+Space
|
(LUX) Not supported |
Note:
WAI-ARIA defines selection within grids solely in terms of cells; a row is just a set of cells, each of which may or may not be selected. The LUX Grid keyboard shortcuts for selection assume the multiSelect option is set to 'true'. In the LUX Grid:- If a cell is selected, the cell's row is selected.
- Only one cell in a row may be selected at any given time.
- If multiple rows are selected, their selected cells are always in the same column.
