Answer from AI
Yes, custom datepicker was implemented with keyboard support to improve accessibility and ease of use.
Implemented:
- Navigation between days using arrow keys (left, right, up, down).
- Selecting a date with the Enter key.
- Quick transition between months using PageUp and PageDown.
- Closing the calendar with the Escape key.
Example of handling keyboard events in JavaScript:
datepickerElement.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
switch(event.key) {
case 'ArrowLeft':
moveFocusToPreviousDay();
break;
case 'ArrowRight':
moveFocusToNextDay();
break;
case 'Enter':
selectFocusedDate();
break;
case 'Escape':
closeDatepicker();
break;
// other keys
}
});
This allows users to work efficiently with the calendar without a mouse.
