Description

Focus

Issue Area # 1

  • Expectation: All supplementary elements that a user needs to interact with receive keyboard focus and be reached using only the keyboard. (WCAG Criteria 2.1.1 (A))
  • Observed:
    • On new markdown and terminal pages, these don't let you escape the content body to do other things once you get inside of it.

Reproduce the keyboard behavior on the New Markdown and New Terminal pages, focusing on what happens after entering the content body. Trace the focus handling for those page elements and verify that keyboard users can leave the body and reach other controls without becoming trapped.
