Agrimaster 10 supports standard web browser keyboard navigation, allowing you to move and interact with the application using familiar keyboard controls.
This approach aligns with common web and spreadsheet behaviours, making it easier to navigate budgets and enter data efficiently.
1. General Navigation
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Tab | Move to the next interactive element |
Shift + Tab | Move to the previous interactive element |
Arrow Keys (↑ ↓ ← →) | Navigate between cells within the grid |
Enter | Move down to the next cell (same column) |
Shift + Enter | Move up to the previous cell |
Esc | Exit cell editing or return focus to higher-level navigation |
2. Grid Navigation (Budget Table)
Key | Action |
|---|---|
← / → | Move horizontally between months (e.g. Jan → Feb) |
↑ / ↓ | Move vertically between rows (e.g. Receipts → GST-IN → Payments) |
Tab | Move to next editable cell (respects tab order) |
Shift + Tab | Move to previous editable cell |
Enter | Confirm entry and move down |
Ctrl + Arrow Keys | Jump to next populated cell or section (if supported) |
Home | Move to the first column (e.g. Total or first period) |
End | Move to the last column (e.g. Dec) |
3. Budget Code Navigation Behaviour
Behaviour | Description |
|---|---|
Restricted Navigation | When focused within Budget Code cells, navigation is restricted to codes within the same code header/group |
Vertical Movement | Users can move up/down only within the current code group |
Horizontal Movement | Users can move across periods (months) within the same code |
Group Boundary Control | Navigation does not automatically move into another code group or header |
Esc Key | Pressing Esc exits the code-level navigation and returns focus to higher-level page navigation controls |
4. Data Entry & Editing
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Type (numbers) | Begin editing a cell |
Enter | Save value and move down |
Tab | Save value and move right |
Esc | Cancel edit and revert to previous value |
Backspace/Delete | Clear or edit cell value |
5. Section Interaction (Expandable Rows)
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Enter / Space | Expand or collapse a selected row (e.g. Receipts, Payments) |
Arrow Right (→) | Expand section (if collapsed) |
Arrow Left (←) | Collapse section (if expanded) |
6. Navigation Toolbar (Top Controls)
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Tab | Navigate through toolbar controls (Accounts, Budget, Cashflow Summary, etc.) |
Enter / Space | Activate selected control |
Arrow Keys | Navigate between grouped toolbar options (if applicable) |
7. Period Navigation (Timeline Controls)
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Tab | Focus on period selector or navigation buttons |
Enter / Space | Activate timeline navigation (e.g. move forward/back periods) |
Arrow Keys | Adjust selected period range (if supported) |
8. Accessibility & Focus Behaviour
Key | Action |
|---|---|
Tab Focus Indicator | Clearly highlights the active cell or control |
Shift + Tab | Reverse navigation through focus order |
Esc | Exit current context (cell edit or grid focus) and return to page-level controls |
9. Expected Behaviour Notes
Navigation follows a structured hierarchy:
Page → Section → Code Group → Cell
Budget Code navigation is intentionally constrained to prevent accidental movement across unrelated sections
Users must explicitly exit (via Esc) to move back to broader navigation controls
Behaviour aligns with spreadsheet conventions, with added structure for financial data grouping
