Keyboard and focus navigation

App accessibility checks that all functionality within an app is operable using a keyboard. This allows users who rely on speech input or assistive technologies to access the app seamlessly. It’s also important to support alternative input methods, such as speech input, mouse interaction, and touch controls. While providing a keyboard interface ensures the broadest accessibility, optimizing your app for other input types further enhances the user experience.

Keyboard and focus navigation is crucial when developing apps for devices that lack native keyboards, such as smartphones and PDAs. It is necessary to ensure that the app content is accessible by any input method. Additionally, when using assistive technologies to navigate an app, it is important to structure app elements in a logical order that matches the visual layout of the elements and does not create a navigation loop.
