Usage

Feel free to mix input groups and dropdowns with button groups in your toolbars. Similar to the example above, you'll likely need some utility classes though to space things properly.

Sizing

Note, if you want smaller or larger buttons or controls, set the size prop directly on the <b-button-group>, <b-input-group>, and <b-dropdown> components.

Justify

Make the toolbar span the maximum available width, by increasing spacing between the button groups, input groups and dropdowns, by setting the prop justify.

Enable optional keyboard navigation by setting the prop key-nav.

Keypress	Action
<kbd>Left</kbd> or <kbd>Up</kbd>	Move to the previous non-disabled item in the toolbar
<kbd>Right</kbd> or <kbd>Down</kbd>	Move to the next non-disabled item in the toolbar
<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Left</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Up</kbd>	Move to the first non-disabled item in the toolbar
<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Right</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Down</kbd>	Move to the last non-disabled item in the toolbar
<kbd>Tab</kbd>	Move to the next control on the page
<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd>	Move to the previous control on the page

Caution: If you have text or text-like inputs in your toolbar, leave keyboard navigation off, as it is not possible to use key presses to jump out of a text (or test-like) inputs.
