Keyboard Access and Focus: DHS Trusted Tester Study Group Session 3

Session 3 of the DHS Trusted Tester study group covered keyboard access and focus, based on WCAG 2.0/2.2 success criteria. Key topics included ensuring all functionality is operable via keyboard (4.A), prohibiting timing-dependent keystrokes (4.B), and preventing keyboard traps where users cannot escape components (4.C). Practical examples demonstrated common failures such as unreachable form fields, timed drag-and-drop interactions, and unfocusable close buttons in modal dialogs.
