  On desktop, you can use the up and down arrows to navigate through the rows in a FlexGrid control. However, on an iPad equipped with a Smart Keyboard, the arrow keys do not work. Instead, it appears that they produce the default browser behavior of moving the window up and down. This behavior can be observed using the demo here: http://demos.wijmo.com/5/angular2/explorer/explorer/#/grid/intro.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  Was able to figure this one out after a fair amount of tinkering. Apple’s Smart Keyboard uses non-standard key codes. I needed to add an event listener to the grid and check for ‘UIKeyInputDownArrow’ events.
