Stuck in a Focustrap: Mastering Keyboard Accessibility
In today's web landscape, we often overlook the aspect of user experience: keyboard accessibility. While we design visually appealing interfaces and smooth mouse interactions, keyboard navigation remains an afterthought for many developers. "Stuck in a Focustrap" explores this essential but frequently neglected side of web accessibility, offering practical techniques and thoughtful approaches to creating inclusive digital experiences.
This session dives into the world of focus management—a skill that separates accessible websites from inaccessible ones. We'll learn how keyboard users navigate web content, the challenges they face, and how thoughtful implementation of focus states, traps, and navigation patterns can improve their experience. From modal dialogs to complex interactive components, we'll uncover the technical approaches and user-centered thinking required to ensure everyone can use your web applications effectively, regardless of how they interact with technology.
