Keyboard Navigation | Agrimaster 10

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 
(left → right, top → bottom)

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
