Quick! Check for keyboard naV

12/20/2022

As I was completing Chartability for one of my vizzes, I found myself wondering,
"How do I check for keyboard navigation?"  
"What's a tab stop?"


That's when I reached out to my go-to resource, who seems always willing to help, Frank Elavsky. 

Here's what I took away from that discussion:
  1. Launch your page that includes your dashboard
  2. Click in to the top left corner.
  3. Tab through, noting where the focus is.
    1. Was anything missed?
    2. Was everything in the order in which you intended it to be?
    3. Check it against Chartability

Here are two quick demos of what it looks like on two of my vizzes that were completed in 2020 and 2021. You can see that the border around the focus area is hard to discern from the colors used in the viz.  I'll be looking at seeing if/how I can change the border.  

Try it for yourself and see what happens!
I also put together this speed tip for the #a11ytug which covers what keyboard navigation is, why it's important, how to navigate/test with a keyboard only, and the heuristics from Chartability.  

Check it out & let me know if you have any questions!
