Operable focuses on enabling a diverse range of interaction methods. One consideration is tab order and keyboard shortcuts, accommodating users who might require or prefer interacting with page content without the use of a mouse cursor. The idea of motion sensitivity and the importance of reduced motion options is also introduced.
Keyboard shortcuts provide an essential alternative input method for users who use the keyboard instead of the mouse cursor to interact with the page. Keyboard-based interaction is a common preference for power users and a necessary alternative for users with reduced motor control.
Use the interactive panel below to enable common keyboard shortcuts. Then simulate keyboard button presses to navigate the form. A common issue on some web pages is incorrectly configured keyboard shortcuts, which you can simulate using the "Random Tab Order" toggle.
Animation can cause discomfort and negative reactions from motion-sensitive users; hence it is important to provide reduced animation versions of pages for these users.
Use the interactive panel below to configure and determine comfortable animation duration for standard users. Then simulate motion sensitivity and reduced motion for motion-sensitive users.
