Keyboard navigation from last cell

If I press the Enter-key then it's fine. I want to have this exact same behaviour by clicking using the mouse. And id doesn't matter wether I click something or not. BTW: I'm not using the modal dialgo for booking. Instead of it I'm using the in-place editor.

Please note that the keyboard navigation and the mouse navigation (including clicks and drag and drop operations) are independent. The mouse actions don't change the focused element. The keyboard focus is only activated when you use the arrow keys and it will stay at the last position reached by the keyboard.

When the keyboard API is available (see https://forums.daypilot.org/question/5479/scheduler-keyboard-navigation-using-the-tab-key) you will be able to move the keyboard focus during mouse actions. This will let you implement this scenario.

OK, thank you.
But right now is there a way to listen to the mouse click event and set the focus manually, as a workaround?

You can listen to the mouse events (e.g. using onEventClick) but the missing part is the keyboard API that would let you set the focus. Please let me check the status of the implementation, maybe it will be possible to publish at least an experimental API in the next release.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

With the latest version (https://javascript.daypilot.org/daypilot-pro-for-javascript-2021-3-5070/), you can update the keyboard focus in onEventClick event like this:

dp.onEventClick = args => {
  // ...
  dp.keyboard.focusEvent(args.e);
};

The following example will update the keyboard focus during time range selection (cell clicks):

dp.onTimeRangeSelected = args => {
  // ...
  dp.keyboard.focusCell(args.start, args.resource);
};

How can I access the keyboard instance in Angular?

@ViewChild('scheduler') scheduler: DayPilotSchedulerComponent;
...
this.scheduler.control.keyboard; // keyboard doesn't exists in control

I then tried something like this, but I'm not sure if this is correct:

 this.scheduler.control.events.focus(args.e);

For focusCell() I didn't find anything

The keyboard API is not yet in the TypeScript definitions. You'll need to cast the DayPilot.Scheduler object to <any> to avoid compilation errors:

const dp = this.scheduler.control as any;
dp.keyboard.focusCell("2021-09-01", "R1");

The typings will be available in the next release.

The events.focus() method sets the browser native focus - it can't be used to change the keyboard focus:
