Operable 2.1 – Keyboard Accessible

Make all functionality available from a keyboard.

2.1.1 Keyboard A All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints.

2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap A If keyboard focus can be moved to a component of the page using a keyboard interface, then focus can be moved away from that component using only a keyboard interface, and, if it requires more than unmodified arrow or tab keys or other standard exit methods, the user is advised of the method for moving focus away.

2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts A If a keyboard shortcut is implemented in content using only letter (including upper- and lower-case letters), punctuation, number, or symbol characters, then at least one of the following is true:

Turn off:

A mechanism is available to turn the shortcut off;

Remap:

A mechanism is available to remap the shortcut to include one or more non-printable keyboard keys (e.g., Ctrl, Alt);

Active only on focus:

The keyboard shortcut for a user interface component is only active when that component has focus.
