MediaPlayer Keyboard support

Provide keyboard support for the MediaPlayer.

Some of the occurring problems are:

  • It is not clear how to get focus on the control, we assigned an accesskey="T" but  alt-t doesn't give focus (we have  a radmenu on the same page with an accesskey="M" which works fine)
  • The tab key sometimes does not work.

Keyboard navigation is required for 508 accessibility support. Generally the space bar is used to start/stop video and tabs are used to access the playbar features like expand, vol and CC

Hi everyone, 

Thank you very much for your requests and feedback. I have good news that in the upcoming 2025 Q4 SP1 we will introduce keyboard navigation for the RadMediaPlayer control. It will be enabled by default and will feature these shortcuts for the tools:

  • Tab - navigate through the UI
  • Enter - execute the selected tool
  • Space: Play/Pause toggle
  • Arrow Right/Left: Seek forward/backward
  • Arrow Up/Down: Volume control
  • M key: Mute/Unmute

Regards,
Rumen
