Manual review: keyboard navigation and focus order

manualWCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.3, 2.4.7 (AA)confidence: mediumseverity: moderateoperable

Flags that a manual review of keyboard navigation and focus order is required.

Applies to. Applies to every run, whatever the page contains. Keyboard operability and focus order are properties of the page as a whole, and no markup pattern rules the question out.

Expectation. Always cantTell, carrying one occurrence at the scan root. Whether focus can leave every component, whether the tab order follows the reading order, and whether the focus indicator stays visible in use all need a person driving the page. The rule exists so that need is stated in the results rather than left for the reader to remember.

Examples

can't tell
<body>
<p>Any page content.</p>
</body>

Keyboard operability and focus order always need a person driving the page; this rule states that need on every run.
