Bidirectional navigation

This is an in-progress draft. The content is incomplete and could change substantially.

Core requirement developing

The keyboard interface can always move forward to the next interactive element and back to the previous interactive element.

Although keyboard navigation is required to be bidirectional, it is not required that it be symmetrical, even though this is usually recommended practice.

Methods

Tests

Procedure

For each interactive element:

  1. Check that when tabbing forwards, you can navigate to the interactive element and then to the next interactive element.
  2. Check that when tabbing backwards, you can navigate to the interactive element and then to the previous interactive element.
