navigationArrows

Type

property

Summary

Specifies whether the arrow keys move from card to card.

Syntax

set the navigationArrows to {true | false}

Description

Use the navigationArrows property to control what the arrow keys do.

If the navigationArrows is true, pressing the keyboard arrow keys moves to a different card :

        * The Left arrow key moves to the previous card.
        * The Right arrow key moves to the next card.
        * The Up arrow key moves backward within the recent-cards list.
        * The Down arrow key moves forward within the recent-cards list.

If there is an insertion point or text selection in a field, and the textArrows property is set to true, the arrow keys move the insertion point one character left or right, or one line up or down. In this case, the setting of the navigationArrows property has no effect.

If an object is selected, pressing the arrow keys nudges the object one pixel in the appropriate direction.
