Description
Hi All,
A key feature of an accessible website is the ability to navigate with the keyboard through the site.
Typically a user will use the tab key to click through links on the site, and use shift+enter/return to reveal options for each button.
In the video attached, I navigate through the firefox browser into the logged in commons homepage. The first couple tab clicks take me through the firefox options, and then there is a blank tab click (I cannot tell what is selected) and then the first and only selection on the Commons homepage is the search icon.
I think this is an access issue because users should be able to reach all aspect of the page with keyboard nav, and especially top level nav item on the homepage.
As it stands now, I cannot get to any Commons pages or directories using keyboard nav. Even when I search in the search bar, I get google search results and the keyboard options just allow me to tab through pages of search results.
What is the intended behavior for keyboard nav on the commons home pages? Can we improve this to make the site more accessible via keyboard?
