Guide - Contact Center Keyboard Interaction

Introduction

The Contact Center application respects the keyboard shortcuts defined by the common operating systems and browsers to avoid confusion of the user with divergent shortcuts. Therefore the CC has a set of shortcuts of its own.

There are several web sites that deal with the shortcuts of operating systems and browsers:

Useful Libraries

The plugin jQuery Hotkeys supports the handling of keyboard events.

Shortcuts

Controls have to be put in a useful order so that the user can navigate them via tab key. Therefore, they should have an attribute tabindex to specify the position in the tabbing order.
It must be possible to interact with the Contact Center application with defined shortcuts.

Implementation

The global shortcuts are defined in ContactRoute.js and can be adapted easily. For example look at page:
