Do people think it is better for the dashboard menus down the left side to work as described in A, B, or C:

  • A. Tabbing goes from top-level item to its subs and cycles through them, then proceeds to the next top-level item, etc., and hitting Enter/Return acts as clicking on the link to whatever item you’ve tabbed to; or
  • B. Tabbing goes from top-level item to top-level item, and hitting Enter/Return ‘opens’ the subs and then you can tab through them?
  • C. A more accessible suggestion that we haven’t thought of?

Please leave your vote/suggestion/comments in a reply to this post IF you work professionally in the accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) field OR you need to access WordPress without a mouse/trackpad/rollerbar/other mouse-like input device (generally due to disability). If you don’t fit in one of these categories: while your opinion is valuable, it’s not the one we’re looking for at this particular time. So regular designers, developers, and users, please don’t distract from the pros and the target population on this thread. If you are an accessibility pro and have not introduced yourself on this blog before, or a keyboard access/screen reader user, please add a note about your qualifications/experience (for pros) or your typical setup/environment (for users — which screen reader, do you use keyboard shortcuts in addition to tabbing etc) so that we can put your suggestions in context. Thanks.

P.S. Please don’t derail the conversation by using this thread to suggest other features.
