Hi everyone - jumping in as the Product Manager for Telerik UI for Blazor.

This request is one of our most upvoted items, and we absolutely agree it’s valuable. We want to set expectations: because this item is logged for the entire suite, it represents a substantial, cross-component effort. Rather than waiting until we can cover everything at once, we’re going to roll this out in phases so you can benefit earlier.

We reviewed the votes and feedback to understand where this is needed most, and the strongest demand is around the Grid component. Because of that, in the next release you’ll see progress via this focused item:
Add the ability to customize the default keyboard shortcuts of the Grid component

To help us prioritize the next phases, please tell us which other components you’d like to see keyboard shortcut customization for. You can:

comment directly on this thread with the component(s), or
log a separate feature request per component and link it here (so others can vote too).

This will give us the clearest data on what matters most and help us prioritize the next phases in the right order.

Thanks for the continued feedback and votes!

Regards,
Yoan

Window and Dialog "CloseOnEscape" Boolean Parameter.

I think all aspects should be adjustable. For instance, how do I know what is used to close the telerik window? Using the X, Pressing Escape or clicking outside the window?

Some of the keys are unintuitive, e.g. Alt-DownArrow to show the popup on DropDownList and Multiselect. Arrow keys or enter are more common.

Maybe (for now) the Toolbelt.Blazor.HotKeys can be used?

GitHub - jsakamoto/Toolbelt.Blazor.HotKeys: This is a class library that provides configuration-centric keyboard shortcuts for your Blazor WebAssembly (client-side) apps.
