KeyTable allows you to use keyboard navigation on a DataTables enhanced table, like an Excel spreadsheet. The focused cell is shown through the CSS class (focus - configurable using keys.className) which in the case below is simply a blue outline. Use your keyboard's arrow keys and click the cells in the table to navigate.

When KeyTable adds focus to a table's cell it adds a class (defined by keys.className - default focus). This class can be used to provide styling information to highlight the focused cell to the end user. The provided stylesheets use CSS outline to show focus, but any CSS property can be used.
