  • Details

Keyboard navigation is something of a radical sport on today’s Internet. Chances you’ll make it through a website with nothing but your keys are fairly slim.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. By making sure all interactive elements can be reached (and escaped) through the keyboard and by providing visual evidence of the focused state we can make the web a friendlier place for keyboard surfers. Plus we can implement all sorts of handy shortcuts: surfing is all about speed, right? And avoiding the jaws of the dreaded focus traps. Forget about mice, we’re going to see what it takes to build the coolest keyboard experience ever!
