# Keyboard Navigation

By default, the keyboard navigation of the PanelBar is enabled.

The PanelBar supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

|:---                |:---                 |  
| `Up Arrow`         | Highlights the previous item. If no previous item is available, highlights the last item.
| `Down Arrow`       | Highlights the next item. If no next item is available, highlights the first item.
| `Left Arrow`       | Highlights the previous item.
| `Right Arrow`      | Highlights the previous item.
| `Home`             | Selects the first item from the list.
| `End`              | Selects the last item from the list.
