Accessibility: Navigation by keyboard #15

Closed abraver closed 9 months ago

abraver commented 9 months ago

I'm currently working with a blind student to adapt some tools for use in our class. I'd like her to be able to use Int IPA with her screenreader, but it seems at the moment that you can't navigate to the various characters on the keyboard with [tab]. Currently [tab] only selects the hamburger menu and the type/audio/audio+video tabs.

Requested feature

Users should be able to navigate the IPA chart with the keyboard, and activate a cell (i.e., enter the text in the textbox for the "type" tab, or play the audio/video on the other tabs).

Current alternatives

At the moment I don't see a way to navigate with a keyboard/screenreader.

Additional context

The student is primarily using X-SAMPA rather than IPA since it's easier for her refreshable braille display, so in an ideal world I'd be able to make a version that shows the X-SAMPA symbols instead of the IPA symbols (but the keyboard navigation is the primary issue).

Ok, I take that back—we were able to get it to workǃ
