How It Works
Keyboard hints are contextual. Different components register their shortcuts when focused:
| Component Focus | Shortcuts Shown |
|---|---|
| Input | ↓ navigate, esc clear |
| Results | ↑↓ navigate, ↵ select, / search |
| Modal | esc close |
When no component has focus, the keyboard hints area is empty.
Accessibility
This component is marked aria-hidden="true" because it’s a visual aid for sighted keyboard users.
The Component UI shortcuts are either the expected controls for WAI-ARIA patterns, or they are optional alternatives to standard tab navigation patterns.
Touch Devices
Keyboard hints are automatically hidden on touch-only devices.
