SMASHINGMAGAZINE.COMWhat Does It Really Mean For A Site To Be Keyboard NavigableEfficient navigation is vital for a functional website, but not everyone uses the internet the same way. While most visitors either scroll on mobile or click through with a mouse, many people only use their keyboards. Up to 10 million American adults have carpal tunnel syndrome, which may cause pain when holding a mouse, and vision problems can make it difficult to follow a cursor. Consequently, you should keep your site keyboard navigable to achieve universal appeal and accessibility. Understanding Keyboard Navigation Keyboard navigation allows users to engage with your website solely through keyboard input. That includes using shortcuts and selecting elements with the Tab and Enter keys. There are more than 500 keyboard shortcuts among operating systems and specific apps your audience may use. Standard ones for web navigation include Ctrl + F to find words or resources, Shift + Arrow to select text, and Ctrl + Tab to move between browser tabs. While these are largely the responsibilities of the software companies behind the specific browser or OS, you should still consider them. Single-button navigation is another vital piece of keyboard navigability. Users may move between clickable items with the Tab and Shift keys, use the Arrow keys to scroll, press Enter or Space to “click” a link, and exit pop-ups with Esc. The Washington Post homepage goes further. Pressing Tab highlights clickable elements as it should, but the first button press brings up a link to the site’s accessibility statement first. Users can navigate past this, but including it highlights how the design understands how keyboard navigability is a matter of accessibility. You should understand how people may use these controls so you can build a site that facilitates them. These navigation options are generally standard, so any deviation or lack of functionality will stand out. Ensuring keyboard navigability, especially in terms of enabling these specific shortcuts and controls, will help you meet such expectations and avoid turning users away. Why Keyboard Navigation Matters In Web Design Keyboard navigability is crucial for a few reasons. Most notably, it makes your site more accessible. In the U.S. alone, over one in four people have a disability, and many such conditions affect technology use. For instance, motor impairments make it challenging for someone to use a standard mouse, and users with vision problems typically require keyboard and screen reader use. Beyond accounting for various usage needs, enabling a wider range of control methods makes a site convenient. Using a keyboard rather than a mouse is faster when it works as it should and may feel more comfortable. Considering how workers spend nearly a third of their workweek looking for information, any obstacles to efficiency can be highly disruptive. Falling short in these areas may lead to legal complications. Regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act necessitate tech accessibility. While the ADA has no binding rules for what constitutes an accessible website, it specifically mentions keyboard navigation in its nonbinding guidance. Failing to support such functionality does not necessarily mean you’ll face legal penalties, but courts can use these standards to inform their decision on whether your site is reasonably accessible. In 2023, Kitchenaid faced a class-action lawsuit for failing to meet such standards. Plaintiffs alleged that the company’s site didn’t support alt text or keyboard navigation, making it inaccessible to users with visual impairments. While the case ultimately settled out of court, it’s a reminder of the potential legal and financial repercussions of overlooking inclusivity. Outside the law, an inaccessible site presents ethical concerns, as it shows preferential treatment for those who can use a mouse, even if that’s unintentional. Even without legal action, public recognition of this bias may lead to a drop in visitors and a tainted public image. Elements Of A Keyboard-Navigable Site Thankfully, ensuring keyboard navigability is a straightforward user experience design practice. Because navigation is standard across OSes and browsers, keyboard-accessible sites employ a few consistent elements. Focus Indicators Web Accessibility In Mind states that sites must provide a visual indicator of elements currently in focus when users press Tab. Focus indicators are typically a simple box around the highlighted icon. These are standard in CSS, but some designers hide them, so avoid using outline:0 or outline:none to limit their visibility. You can also increase the contrast or change the indicator’s color in CSS. The CNN Breaking News homepage is a good example of a strong focus indicator. Pressing Tab immediately brings up the box, which is bold enough to see easily and even uses a white border when necessary to stand out against black or dark-colored site elements. Logical Tab Order The order in which the focus indicator moves between elements also matters. Generally speaking, pressing the Tab key should move it from left to right and top to bottom — the same way people read in English. A few errors can stand in the way. Disabled buttons disrupt keyboard navigation flow by skipping an element with no explanation or highlighting it without making it clickable. Similarly, an interface where icons don’t fall in a predictable left-to-right, top-to-bottom order will make logical tab movement difficult. The Sutton Maddock Vehicle Rental site is a good example of what not to do. When you press Tab, the focus indicator jumps from “Contact” to the Facebook link before going backward to the Twitter link. It starts at the right and moves left when it goes to the next line — the opposite order of what feels natural. Skip Navigation Links Skip links are also essential. These interactive elements let keyboard users jump to specific content without repeated keystrokes. Remember, these skips must be one of the first areas highlighted when you press Tab so they work as intended. The HSBC Group homepage has a few skip navigation links. Pressing Tab pulls up three options, letting users quickly jump to whichever part of the site interests them. Keyboard-Accessible Interactive Elements Finally, all interactive elements on a keyboard-navigable site should be accessible via keystrokes. Anything people can click on or drag with a cursor should also support navigation and interaction. Enabling this is as simple as letting users select all items with the Tab or Arrow keys and press them with Space or Enter. Appropriately, this Arizona State University page on keyboard accessibility showcases this concept well. All drop-down menus are possible to open by navigating to them via Tab and pressing Enter, so users don’t need a mouse to interact with them. How to Test for Keyboard Navigability After designing a keyboard-accessible UX, you should test it to ensure that it works properly. The easiest way to do this is to explore the site solely with your keyboard. The chart below outlines the criteria to look for when determining whether your site is legitimately keyboard navigable. Keyboard Navigable Not Keyboard Navigable Clickable Elements All elements are reachable through the keyboard and open when you press Enter. Only some elements are possible to reach through the keyboard. Some links may be broken or not open when you press Enter. Focus Indicators Pressing Tab, Space, or Enter brings up a focus indicator that is easy to see in all browsers. Focus indicators may not appear when pressing all buttons. The box may be hard to see or only appear in some browsers. Skip Navigation Links Pressing Tab for the first time pulls up at least one skip link to take users to much-visited content or menus. Continuing to press Tab moves the focus indicator past these links to highlight elements on the page as normal. No skip links appear when pressing Tab for the first time. Alternatively, they appear after moving through all other elements. Skip links may not be functional. Screen Reader Support Screen readers can read each element when highlighted with the focus indicator. Some elements may not encourage any action from screen readers when highlighted. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines outline two test rules to verify keyboard navigability: The first ensures all interactive elements are accessible via the Tab key, The second checks for keyboard scroll functionality. Employ both standards to review your UX before making a site live. Typical issues include the inability to highlight elements with the Tab key or things that don’t fall in a natural order. You can discover both problems by trying to access everything with your keyboard. However, you may prefer to conduct a navigability audit through a third party. Many private companies offer these services, but you can also use the Bureau of Internet Accessibility for a basic WCAG audit. Make Your Site Keyboard Navigable Today Keyboard navigability ensures you cater to all needs and preferences for an inclusive, accessible website design. While it’s straightforward to implement, it’s also easy to miss, so remember these principles when designing your UX and testing your site. WCAG provides several techniques you can employ to meet keyboard accessibility standards and enhance your users’ experience: Technique G90, for keyboard-triggered event handlers Technique G202, for general keyboard functionality Technique H91, for forming controls and links in HTML Follow these guidelines and use WCAG’s test rules to create an accessible site. Remember to re-check it every time you add elements or change your UX. Additionally, consider the following recommended reads to learn more about keyboards and their role in accessibility: “A Guide To Keyboard Accessibility: HTML And CSS (Part 1),” Cristian Díaz “A Guide To Keyboard Accessibility: JavaScript (Part 2),” Cristian Díaz “A Complete Guide To Mechanical Keyboards,” Ben Frain “UX Improvements For Keyboard Accessibility,” Vitaly Friedman “I Used The Web For A Day With Just A Keyboard,” Chris Ashton User-friendliness is an industry best practice that demonstrates your commitment to inclusivity for all. Even users without disabilities will appreciate intuitive, efficient keyboard navigation.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 41 Views

DESIGN-MILK.COMIKEA Leans Into Accessibility With the Launch of BÄSINGEN SeriesAccessibility concerns are becoming more prevalent in the design world in recent years, with over 70 million Americans reporting having a disability in 2024. As a staggering amount of the nation continues to feel the effects of a woefully inadequate health system, comprehensive preventative care has become a luxury, available only to those that fit within the margins of societal constraints. Implements and treatments that provide relief, comfort, or social interaction are essential, contributing not only to the quality of life of the individual, but their family and caretakers as well. IKEA presents the 6-piece BÄSINGEN accessibility collection, providing consistent support throughout the home, promoting the idea that accessible design is best for us all. Shower Shelf, Shower Chair, and Towel Rail The BÄSINGEN collection features many differing purposes through the accessible design space, including a Shower Chair ($38.99), Toilet Roll Holder ($11.99), Shower Shelf ($11.99), Towel Rail ($19.99), Step Stool with Rail ($29.99), and a 2-Step Stool with Rail ($31.99). These products consider weight, proportion, and scale, for children’s use as well as adults, and come in a dark, anthracite color. Lightweight, unobtrusive, yet remarkably helpful, this collection fields a considerable amount of pain points in the kitchen and bathroom, and offers a fresh take on accessible design at IKEA’s affordable price point. According to the National Disability Institute, research has shown that those living with disabilities incure exorbitant out-of-pocket costs for care, requiring 28 percent more income (or an additional $17,690 a year for a household at the median income level) to maintain a similar quality of life to a household without a disability. Shower Shelf Shower Shelf Thoughtfully considered features include non-slip feet for stability, drainage holes to keep surfaces dry, and thicker diameters for easy grip. “BÄSINGEN is designed to help customers create a comfortable experience. The products were created to bring great functionality together with a beautiful design, as they have a minimalistic expression that is rooted in our Scandinavian design tradition. BÄSINGEN should blend in regardless of your style and shouldn’t be something you need to put away or hide,” shares Sarah Fager, designer of the new IKEA collection. Towel Rail Towel Rail Step Stool with Rail, Shower Shelf, and Towel Rail “BÄSINGEN series is inspired by and created for people in all life stages whose needs at home are changing. All products are designed to make everyday tasks in bathroom and kitchen environments easier. The clean, simple design in dark gray stands out in the surrounding environment when you need a helping hand. I hope these functional and durable products bring a feeling of self-worth and independence at home,” says Fager. Toilet Roll Holder Toilet Roll Holder 2-Step Stool with Rail and Step Stool with Rail 2-Step Stool with Rail 2-Step Stool with Rail IKEA has continued to push the boundaries of democratic design since the 1950s, boldly offering flat-packed furniture that didn’t need to be crated up and hauled to its final destination in one piece. The price point can’t be beat, and the collaborations between designers and departments are inspired, creating streamlined components that can be manufactured at a global scale. Ingvar Kamprad founded IKEA in 1943, offering affordability without compromising on quality that made the brand a household name.

LIFEHACKER.COMHow to Quickly Set Up Your New MacMaybe you've treated yourself to a brand new MacBook Air, or maybe you want to factory reset your iMac—either to sell it on or wipe all the digital detritus off the system. Whatever the reason you're setting up a new Mac, these are the steps you'll need to follow.Apple has continually streamlined this process over the years, and with the rollout of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS 15.4 Sequoia, it's now easier than ever: If you've got an iPhone or iPad available, it can take care of some of the setup process for you.First, you'll see a hello message, in a cycling selection of languages: Click Get Started, then choose the language you want macOS to use, and your country or region. With that done, you can then customize the accessibility settings built into macOS, if you need them, to complete the rest of the setup process. This is the biggest choice you have to make in the setup process. Credit: Apple The all-important step of connecting to wifi is next, and once you've chosen a network and entered the password for it, you'll get the opportunity to download any software updates available for macOS—which is recommended, to make sure you have the latest bug fixes and security patches installed.You can choose whether or not you want to transfer data to your new Mac as part of the setup process. The top option, From a Mac, Time Machine or startup disk, is the one to go for if you want your new Mac to look as much like your old Mac as possible: If you're upgrading Macs and the old one is still available to you, you'll be prompted to launch the Migration Assistant on both computers to copy your user account over.Then there's From a Windows PC, which sticks to data like contacts, calendars, email accounts—if you're switching from Windows to macOS, this can help the process run more smoothly. Again, you'll be taken step by step through the procedure, which includes getting Migration Assistant set up on Windows as well as macOS. Bring your iPhone close to your Mac to see a prompt to connect. Credit: Apple The third option here is Set up with iPhone or iPad, which is the new feature that's just been added. It transfers data such as wifi logins, and your appearance and accessibility customizations, as well as access to your iCloud account. Pick this option, bring your iPhone or iPad close to your Mac, and you should see a prompt on the mobile device. Tap Continue to confirm.A glowing blue orb shows up on your Mac screen, which you then need to fit inside the camera viewfinder on your iPhone or iPad, and then the link is established. You still need to go through a few more setup steps after this, but it does save you a few minutes.The fourth and final option on the transfer data dialog is Set up as new, which I actually prefer: It gives you a clean and fresh installation of macOS, and it means you can slowly move over your data and accounts bit by bit, as needed. With this option, you'll avoid moving any clutter from your old Mac or other Apple devices over to your new computer. You'll need to set up a new user account for macOS. Credit: Apple With your data transfer option chosen, you're then required to enter a username and password to use on your Mac, which is separate from your Apple account. Click the box underneath your password hint to make sure you can always get into this Mac with your Apple account credentials, should you ever forget your Mac credentials.Next, you're prompted to sign into your Apple account to get all your iCloud data synced and in place—unless you've used the iPhone or iPad shortcut, in which case the Mac already knows who you are. After that, you need to set the various permissions for macOS, including location services, device analytics, and Siri access.Almost there—but there are still a few more dialogs to work through. When it comes to these features, you can opt to set them up straight away or later on. First, there's Apple Intelligence, such as it is—right now on macOS, you're looking at features such as Writing Tools, the Image Playground app, and the ChatGPT extension to Siri. If you've used an iPhone or iPad, you'll be logged into iCloud automatically. Credit: Apple Next up, you've got FileVault Disk Encryption and Touch ID (your Mac is much more secure if you turn both of these on), followed by Apple Pay, if you want to use new or previously registered payment cards to make purchases on your Mac. After that, you're just about done: Click Continue on the Welcome to Mac screen, and you're good to go.The process is straightforward enough that you can consider resetting your Mac every so often to keep unnecessary junk data down to a minimum, and ensure everything stays running as quickly as possible. If you ever want to reset your Mac and go through the setup process again (making sure your data is safely backed up first), open System Settings from the main Apple menu, then choose General > Transfer or Reset.Once you get into macOS proper, you can start making it your own again. For me, that means removing almost everything from the dock and hiding it from view, and changing the trackpad scrolling direction so it's the right way up—but your mileage will vary.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 42 Views
