Common Navigation Operations
The following table contains common navigation operations that are available to end users:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Clicking a data cell | Moves focus to the clicked cell. |
| Clicking a node’s indicator cell | Moves focus to the corresponding row and preserves column focus. |
| DOWN ARROW | Moves focus to the next node and preserves column focus. |
| UP ARROW | Moves focus to the previous node and preserves column focus. |
| RIGHT ARROW | Moves focus to the next cell within the focused node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AutoMoveRowFocus option is enabled and the last node cell is focused, the Right Arrow key moves focus to the first cell within the next node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AllowExpandCollapseWithArrowKeys property is enabled and the first cell in a collapsed node is focused, the Right Arrow key expands the node. |
| LEFT ARROW | Moves focus to the previous cell within the focused node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AutoMoveRowFocus option is enabled and the first node cell is focused, the Left Arrow key moves focus to the last cell within the previous node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AllowExpandCollapseWithArrowKeys property is enabled and the first cell in an expanded node is focused, the Left Arrow key collapses the node. |
| TAB | If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.UseTabKey option is active, moves focus to the next cell within the focused node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AutoMoveRowFocus option is also enabled and the last node cell is focused, this key moves focus to the first cell within the next node. |
| CONTROL+TAB | Moves focus away from the Tree List to the next control according to the tab order. |
| SHIFT+TAB | If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.UseTabKey option is active, moves focus to the previous cell within the focused node. If the TreeListOptionsNavigation.AutoMoveRowFocus option is also enabled and the first node cell is focused, this key combination moves focus to the last cell within the previous node. |
| ENTER | If a user is editing a cell and the TreeListOptionsNavigation.EnterMovesNextColumn option is enabled, Enter moves focus to the next cell within the current node and invokes the focused cell’s editor. |
| HOME | Moves focus to the first cell within the focused node. |
| END | Moves focus to the last cell within the focused node. |
| PAGE DOWN | Moves node focus down one page and preserves column focus. |

Notes:
- When a user navigates with the Ctrl key pressed, focus movement does not affect selection.
