Hi Kendo,
We're trying to utilize the KendoReact ListBox and noticed that the widget is not keyboard accessible (kendo demo). Arrow keys explicitly don't seem to do anything, so without a mouse you have no way to traverse and use the widget's available options.
We expected it to behave like a traditional HTML listbox/select (dojo demo), which does fully support keyboard navigation and selection/deselection. Is there a way to implement this effectively?

Hi, Christopher,
Currently, keyboard navigation is not present as a built-in feature for the KendoReact ListBox, but you can achieve it using the approach demonstrated in the following KB article:
In addition, we have a feature request for adding this feature in our feedback portal. It is currently in an unplanned stage, therefore, I added a vote on your behalf in order to increase its priority. You can track it here:
I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
