Popover

A lightweight surface anchored to its trigger, for a small form or a snippet of contextual content. Unlike a tooltip it can hold interactive controls.

Purpose

Use a Popover when the content is interactive but too small to deserve a Dialog. For non-interactive hints use Tooltip instead — a tooltip cannot hold focusable controls.

Inline form

Accessibility & keyboard

  • Focus moves into the popover on open and returns to the trigger on close.
  • Keyboard: Esc closes; Tab cycles within the content.
