Re: Controlling admin ManyToManyField widget with keyboard

Oh, sorry. That widget uses ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal), it is not the standard admin ManyToMany widget. I just tested it in user permissions. I just got it to work by selecting(multiple) elements in one widget, tabbing to the move arrow, and clicking enter.
Maybe that will work for you?

The widget is a combination of two multiple select boxes and arrows to move items between boxes. I have no issues with the selecting part. I have an issue with the moving part.

I don't think I am. A ManyToMany relation in admin is represented as a select-multiple html widget - is that what we are talking about?

The action that I described in my first message to select multiple elements in a select-multiple widget works in Firefox, Opera, and with a modifier in IE. It does not work in Chromium as indicated by the issue I linked to in the last message.

Please let me know if I am missing something in your question.

Are you sure that you're not confusing the behavior of the select box with the toggle action? Because I'm having trouble with the toggle action, not the select box.

It appears that multi-select form widgets cannot be keyboard controlled in chromium, and it is a known bug/non-implementation:

Sorry, space doesn't do the toggle. (Windows 7 Chrome.)

While holding Ctrl (Command on a Mac), click the spacebar on the relations you want to select.
Spacebar handles the toggle action, ctrl(command) keeps you in multi-select mode

Hi,

How do I control the admin ManyToManyField widget with the keyboard?

Thanks,
