Select a Slick slider 1.3.5 after page load so it has focus to navigate with arrow keys

I want the slider to be selected automatically after the loading of page. Meaning that I want to be able to navigate through the slider using the arrow keys right after the page load, without clicking on it first.
This is the workign slider but I have to click on it first before the arrow keys work.

.slider {
background-color: white;
margin: 100px auto;
height: auto!important;
}
.slick-slide {
margin: 0px 20px;
}
.slick-slide img {
width: 100%;
}
JS
$(".top_slider").slick({
dots: true,
infinite: true,
centerMode: true,
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 1,
});

1. Put focus on the slider after it is loaded
After the slider is initialised, you can put focus on the slider so that the keyboard can be used without tabbing to it or clicking on it first... but note that you can only set focus on an element that can get focus e.g. an a, button or input. You're first slide contains a link so we can use it.
In Slick 1.3.9 or below (which you are using), you can use the onInit callback and select the link in the first div of the .slide-track like this:
$(".top_slider").slick({
dots: true,
infinite: false,
centerMode: true,
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 1,
onInit: function() {
$(".top_slider .slick-track div:first-of-type a").focus();
},
});
In Slick 1.4.0 and above, you use the callback event before you initialise the slider, and you can select the first slide more easily using the .slick-current class (note, you still need to select a focus-able element in the slide):
/* Bind the event BEFORE initialising slick */
$('.top_slider').on('init', function(event, slick){
$(".top_slider .slick-current a").focus();
});
/* Now you can initialise Slick */
$(".top_slider").slick({
/*Settings....*/
});
2. Automatically scroll to the slider when the page loads
You just need the following line to make your page to scroll down to the slider when the page loads:
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: $('.top_slider').offset().top}, 500);
});
We get the position of the top of the slider using the .top_slider class and set scrollTop to this value in the animate function - this will animate the scroll to that location.
Working Snippet Putting this all together:
$('.top_slider').on('init', function(event, slick) {
$(".top_slider .slick-current a").focus();
});
$(".top_slider").slick({
dots: true,
infinite: false,
centerMode: true,
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 1,
onInit: function() {
$(".top_slider .slick-track div:first-of-type a").focus();
},
});
$('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: $('.top_slider' ).offset().top}, 500);
.slider {
background-color: white;
margin: 100px auto;
height: auto!important;
}
.slick-slide {
margin: 0px 20px;
}
.slick-slide img {
width: 100%;
}

How can I get my SlickJS Carousal to cycle between 3 images and have them all visible while cycling?

I am using SlickJS to build a slider that will allow me to cycle between images.
Similar to this image
Link to SlickJS Documentation
There area a couple of problems that I am running into.
The first is that, as far as I know, you cannot cycle between images if you are showing them all at once. For example if you set slidesToShow to 3 and you have only 3 images, you cannot cycle through them.
The other problem I have is that even when assigning custom buttons and running the slickNext and slickPrev functions through them, it still does not cycle.
Could anyone provide me guidance on how to get the slider to function similar to the image I provided above?
Here is the code I have:
<div>
<button class="left-selector" style="height: 20px; width: 20px">
</button>
<div class="center-ag-slider">
<div>
<img style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%;" src="https://keystonepuppies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Siberian-Husky-Category-950x700.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%;" src="https://dgicdplf3pvka.cloudfront.net/2355971/siberian-husky-puppy-picture-473f7308-f278-4858-b1ec-81368845e1be.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%;" src="https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzUzWDEwMjQ=/z/bCwAAOSwTM5YtzZy/%24_86.JPG">
</div>
</div>
<button class="right-selector" style="height: 20px; width: 20px">
</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.center-ag-slider').slick({
centerMode: true,
centerPadding: '60px',
slidesToShow: 3,
initialSlide: 0,
responsive: [
{
breakpoint: 768,
settings: {
arrows: false,
centerMode: true,
centerPadding: '40px',
slidesToShow: 3
}
},
{
breakpoint: 480,
settings: {
arrows: false,
centerMode: true,
centerPadding: '40px',
slidesToShow: 1
}
}
]
});
$('.left-selector').click(function () {
$(".center-ag-slider").slick("slickPrev");
});
$('.right-selector').click(function () {
$(".center-ag-slider").slick("slickNext");
});
});
</script>

You can set a width on the slick-slide class in css that will display them all on the page simultaneously. So, in this case because there are 3 images you are trying to slide through you would set the width on slick-slide to be 33.333333%;
.slick-slide {
width: 33.333333%;
}

Change width of slide in Slick-Slider

I am using slick-slider
in my Angular-6 project using jQuery. I want to change the width of the slide on click of that slide.
Here is my HTML:
<div class="slide-container">
<div class="slide" (click)="changeWidth()"></div>
<div class="slide" (click)="changeWidth()"></div>
<div class="slide" (click)="changeWidth()"></div>
<div class="slide" (click)="changeWidth()"></div>
<div class="slide" (click)="changeWidth()"></div>
</div>
Here is my typescript code:
ngAfterViewInit() {
$('.slide-container').slick({
centerMode: true,
centerPadding: '25%',
slidesToShow: 1,
accessibility: true,
cssEase: 'ease-in-out',
focusOnSelect: true,
infinite: false,
speed: 350,
});
}
changeWidth() {
// currentWidth is a global variable assigned to '25%'
if (currentWidth === '25%') {
$('.slide-container').slick('slickSetOption', 'centerPadding', '2%');
} else {
$('.slide-container').slick('slickSetOption', 'centerPadding', '25%');
}
}
Here is my CSS:
.slide {
transition: width 0.35s ease-in-out;
}
It works pretty well but the problem is when it increases the width slides move towards left first and then start its CSS transition. Also, when it decreases the width it moves slides towards the right and then starts the CSS transition.
At the time of increasing width, I want it to increase the width from the center of the slide and at the time of decreasing it should end up decreasing in center of slide only.
It is also okay to change CSS properties of Slick-classes. I tried to change according to my need but it is not working as my expectation.
How can I accomplish this scenario?
Thanks.

How to enlarge custom slide in slick.js

I want to know how to enlarge specific slide in slick gallery. I want to enlarge slide with class toEnlarge. I tried with scalling, adding padding, margin, etc., but no effect. Any idea?
HTML:
<div class="slick-holder">
<a href="link.html">
<div class="single"></div>
</a>
<a href="link.html" class="toEnlarge">
<div class="single"></div>
</a>
...
<a href="link.html">
<div class="single"></div>
</a>
</div>
JS:
$('.slick-holder').slick({
slidesToShow: 5,
slidesToScroll: 1,
infinite: true,
});
I'm trying to do something like this:

have you tried something like?
.toEnlarge{
display: block;
transform: scale(1.3);
transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

Slick JS gutters or spaces between carousel items

How do you put gutters or spaces between carousel items in slick.js. Below is my js and html, and there are no spaces between the slider images or items.
$('.responsive').slick({
slidesToShow: 4,
slidesToScroll: 4,
responsive: [
{
breakpoint: 1024,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 3,
}
},
]
});
<div class="responsive">
<div> <img src="slide1.jpeg"></div>
<div> <img src="slide2.jpeg"></div>
<div> <img src="slide3.jpeg"></div>
<div> <img src="slide4.jpeg"></div>
<div> <img src="slide5.jpeg"></div>
</div>

There isn't a plugin option to define this through Slick itself. Here's a CodePen Slick.js carousel example, you'll see the carousel spacing is defined through the CSS via the margin and padding attributes (in this case via the <h3> tags). http://codepen.io/saviaga/pen/qdENOx
css:
.responsive div img{
margin: 10px;
}
