Gallery nav without Mouse

I am trying a development for a client, who asked to use the mouse less within the app.
I'm trying things but in case anyone knows...

Is it possible to navigate between the items in a gallery using keyboard keys?

Thank you.

    @AlGom ,

    That is what I meant by challenging - include Forms in that as well. The app was designed for a mouse and/or a touch screen, so maybe your customer has those.

    Hi @AlGom ,

    Yes you can use Keyboard, 

     

    For components where you want to navigate  there's a property called as 'Tab Index'

    Reference: YouTube Link

     

    Hope this helps

    HI @AlGom ,

    Technically the Tab key should navigate according to the Tab order, however management of the order required may prove a bit challenging.
