# Keys

With the [KeyTable](https://datatables.net/extensions/keytable/) extension you can navigate in a table using the arrow keys:

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [full-width]

import itables

itables.init_notebook_mode()

itables.show(
    itables.sample_dfs.get_countries(),
    keys=True,
)
```

```{tip}
You can activate this option for all your tables with

~~~python
itables.options.keys = True
~~~
```

```{warning}
The KeyTable extension works in Jupyter Book (try it here in the documentation) but not in JupyterLab.
