A Boolean value indicating whether the cell accepts first responder status.

```
var acceptsFirstResponder: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the cell is able to become the first responder. The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> when the cell is enabled. Subclasses may override this method to return a different value.
