The Library table supports keyboard navigation after the table has focus. Click a Library row first, then use the keyboard to move, open, select, rename, or remove items without leaving the table.

Use Arrow Down or `j` to move to the next row. Use Arrow Up or `k` to move to the previous row. Home jumps to the first visible row, and End jumps to the last visible row. Press Enter or Space to open the highlighted row.Press `x` to select the highlighted row. Hold Shift while moving with Arrow keys, `j`, or `k` to extend the selection range. Command-A on Mac or Ctrl-A on Windows selects every visible row. Esc clears the current selection.When the highlighted row is a folder, Arrow Right expands it and Arrow Left collapses it. Folder expansion works only when the folder has visible contents.Press F2 to rename the highlighted row when rename is available. Press Delete or Backspace to run the primary row action: Move to Trash in the active Library view, or Put Back in Trash.Keyboard shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a search box, rename field, or editor. Finish the text edit first, then return focus to the Library table.
