[Bug] Accessibility - Keyboard Navigation
cngodles opened this issue · comments
To Reproduce
Attempt to navigate the app without a mouse.
Expected behavior
Should be able to access all features sans mouse.
Actual behavior
There are several instances where using the tab key results in the focus of an item without highlighting it. This hinders users further who can only access the app using a keyboard. You are also essentially trapped in the editor if you are using it with only a keyboard. There is an exception, however, where you can use certain keyboard shortcuts (such as Ctrl + Atl + F) as an escape.
Notes
More reading in issue #495. You also lose the ability to use the tab key for navigation when editing a note. Take the Github editor as an example, where using the tab key escapes you from the editor, instead of writing out a tab. Adding tabs is a pain in these types of text editors, where adding 4 spaces is used as a replacement when writing inline code, etc.
There appear to be many opportunities to improve this throughout, such as allowing a user to navigate available notes using arrow keys.
I partly closed this issue in #509, please look for it 😄
