Hi Richmond,

Thank you for your comments and logging this feature request.

Indeed, currently the DateRange component does not have a dedicated keyboard navigation. Recently we have been working on improving the accessibility and KB navigation across all Kendo suites, and this ongoing effort will also see the DateRange and other components comply with the respective accessibility and KB navigation specs.

The planned improvements for the DateRange KB navigation will ensure it meets the following spec once implemented:

Managing Focus

Focus goes through the two date inputs and the popup.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Actions applied to the DateInput:

The DateRangePicker implements the keyboard shortcuts for the DateInput component. Apart from that, it also features the following shortcuts related to ist Popup:

`Esc`: Closes the popup
`Alt + Down`: Opens the popup
`Alt + Up`: Closes the popup

Actions applied to the Calendar:

Ones the popup is open, navigation is handled through the MultiViewCalendar component.
