List

<ui5-list>

The ui5-list component allows displaying a list of items, advanced keyboard handling support for navigating between items, and predefined modes to improve the development efficiency.

The ui5-list is a container for the available list items:

  • ui5-li
  • ui5-li-custom
  • ui5-li-group

To benefit from the built-in selection mechanism, you can use the available selection modes, such as Single, Multiple and Delete.

Additionally, the ui5-list provides header, footer, and customization for the list item separators.

Keyboard Handling​

Basic Navigation​

The ui5-list provides advanced keyboard handling. When a list is focused the user can use the following keyboard shortcuts in order to perform a navigation:

  • [Up] or [Down] - Navigates up and down the items
  • [Home] - Navigates to first item
  • [End] - Navigates to the last item

The user can use the following keyboard shortcuts to perform actions (such as select, delete), when the selectionMode property is in use:

  • [Space] - Select an item (if type is 'Active') when selectionMode is selection
  • [Delete] - Delete an item if selectionMode property is Delete

Fast Navigation​

This component provides a build in fast navigation group which can be used via [F6] / [Shift] + [F6] / [Ctrl] + [Alt/Option] / [Down] or [Ctrl] + [Alt/Option] + [Up]. In order to use this functionality, you need to import the following module: import "@ui5/webcomponents-base/dist/features/F6Navigation.js"
