Accessibility

Keyboard Navigation

You can navigate through Directus Studio entirely with your keyboard. The Skip Menu makes it easy to jump between page sections.

Shortcuts

• Navigation is primarily done with the Tab key and occasionally with the arrow keys.
• Enter your selection with the enter or space keys.
• Save with meta + s.
• Apply edits in modals/drawers/popovers with meta + enter.
• Cancel/exit modals/drawers/popovers with the escape key.

Special shortcuts for the TinyMCE/WYSIWYG Editor:

• alt + F10 Focus/jump to toolbar
• Arrow Keys: Navigate left/right through toolbar
• Esc: Return to the editor content area

Things to keep in mind

• Visual Editor is only accessible on the Directus side — not your website. So we always need to click an edit button first, then the overlays are accessible.
• Manual Sorting is currently not supported/accessible.
• The DateTime interface is currently not supported/accessible.
• Once focused, the code interface (Codemirror) cannot be exited using the tab key.
• The Markdown interface also doesn’t allow you to exit the field. This is because it supports tabs inside the editor’s text content.
