In order to be considered keyboard accessible, the following checklist should be completed.

Using just the keyboard, ensure the following:

  • Focus is clearly indicated and the focus pattern follows the visual layout of the web page.
  • Focus is always visible and apparent, regardless of low vision or color blindness.
  • Context never changes when focus changes.
  • Focus does not get trapped in any element.
  • Focus can be shifted between interactive elements and the containing document via keyboard alone.
  • Interactions follow expected design practices.
