Getting Started
Accessibility
We are always looking for ways to make Directus Studio more accessible. Here are some of the methods we currently support.
Keyboard Navigation
You can navigate through Directus Studio entirely with your keyboard. The Skip Menu makes it easy to jump between page sections.
Shortcuts
- Navigation is primarily done with the
Tab
key and occasionally with the arrow keys. - Enter your selection with the
enter
orspace
keys. - Save with
meta
+s
. - Apply edits in modals/drawers/popovers with
meta
+enter
. - Cancel/exit modals/drawers/popovers with the
escape
key.
Special shortcuts for the TinyMCE/WYSIWYG Editor:

Things to keep in mind
- Visual Editor is only accessible on the Directus side — not your website. So we always need to click an edit button first, then the overlays are accessible.
- Manual Sorting is currently not supported/accessible.
- The DateTime interface is currently not supported/accessible.
- Once focused, the code interface (Codemirror) cannot be exited using the tab key.
- The Markdown interface also doesn’t allow you to exit the field. This is because it supports tabs inside the editor’s text content.
