How to navigate to a popup using keyboard navigation?

MHergel — Thu, 22 May 2025 19:18:41 GMT

I am creating web map applications in ExB where users can search for a location in a search bar and the map will zoom to the location and open a popup with information about that location. I have been testing out how to navigate the application using keyboard navigation, although I am unable to select anything in the popup. I have docked the popups so that they always appear in the top corner of the application. I have links to websites and directions in each popup and would like users to be able to navigate to the popups and open the links using keyboard navigation. If I use my mouse to click inside of the popup I am than able to navigate the popup with the keyboard, although unless I use my mouse to click inside the popup I have been unable to navigate to the links within the popup.

I am curious if there is something I need to change in the settings to allow users to navigate into the popups using only the keyboard? Or if this is just not a possibility yet?

Thank you,

Mayva

Hi @MHergel,

Currently this is the limitation.

Thank you!

I have also discovered that if you use the Feature Info widget you can set it up to display the same information that would be in your popup. Using the actions and triggers you can have the feature information displayed changed when the selection in your map changes. The Feature Info widget is compatible with keyboard navigation, so can be a work around from using popups.
