Host: Welcome to The Accessibility Minute! I am your host, Alx Sanchez, and today we are building better documents.
Step away from the mouse! Seriously, nobody touch the mouse! Today we are talking about keyboard accessibility. Under WCAG Success Criterion 2.1.1, every single piece of functionality in your content must be operable through a keyboard interface, without requiring specific timings.
If your fancy Drupal site or interactive PDF demands a mouse click to submit a form, you are completely locking out users who rely on screen readers, alternative keyboards, or switch devices! To ensure everyone can access your content, build interactive form controls that users can easily navigate using just the Tab key. Want to test it? Unplug your mouse and try to navigate your own document. If you get stuck, your users will too!
