How It Works

Keyboard hints are contextual. Different components register their shortcuts when focused:

Component Focus Shortcuts Shown
Input ↓ navigate, esc clear
Results ↑↓ navigate, enter select, esc close
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.
