Description
The ULS appears in two different places:
ULS in article titlebar | ULS in site header |
---|---|
Currently the keyboard support is inconsistent between those two instances. This task is about increasing consistency.
Noted differences
ULS in article titlebar | ULS in site header |
---|---|
can be opened with space or enter (when focused) | can be opened with enter (when focused) |
can use tab to navigate language list | tab skips links, cannot be used to navigate language list |
Other notes
Universal Language Selector trigger in personal bar (like one on mediawiki.org), language settings cog icon (T52575), and the language selector for the Compact Language Links (T70075) are all keyboard accessible. Recent efforts are made to increase the keyboard accessibility of the panels opened from those triggers.
Language settings panel and its associated 'Display' and 'Input' tabs should be accessible after T52793: Make ULS accessible from keyboard.
As noted, arrow keys serve good role in scrolling the language results panel (once it receives focus), but navigating through the list of languages using keyboard arrows may be desired behavior and certainly one I expected many times as user.
