Fully keyboard input

Bright supports full-fledged keyboard control of the application without using the mouse. The control is carried out through a focus element, which can be moved over all page elements. To start using this mode, you need to select any element using the keyboard by pressing TAB. The following keys are used to control the focus element:

  • TAB - Selection of the next element
  • Arrows - Changing the parameters of the selected element
  • ENTER - Confirmation of the adjustment
  • ESC - Closing the pop-up window and returning to the main page
This is how the selected element looks like
