Since this issue is part of the WPCampus accessibility audit, can we keep it open please? It serves the purpose of keeping track of the progress on the audit. Thanks.
@afercia since you opened https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9361 too that this is a duplicate of, can you decide which to keep open? It doesn't serve the project well to have two issues about the same thing and it would go a long way to have a "source of truth" for this important problem.
Closed https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9361 which is an older issue but I'd prefer to keep this one open as it comes from the WPCampus accessibility audit.
To summarize:
shift+alt+h
on Windows opens the Firefox and Internet Explorer Help menu: the modal opens but focus is on the browser's menu. IE11 is no more relevant now, Firefox is still relevant.ctrl+option+h
opens the VoiceOver help and the modal doesn't open at all.Thank you for summarizing and closing <3
Shortcut keys conflict with browser shortcuts
Issue description
The shortcut key provided for "Keyboard Shortcuts" is
Shift+Alt+H
, however this also triggers the browser "Help" dialog in Windows browsers such as Internet Explorer.This may be confusing for users who rely on shortcut keys, since they would have to manually escape the native menu in order to reach the Keyboard Shortcuts information.
Remediation Guidance
Replace this shortcut key with something else which does not conflict with browser defaults, or allow users to change the shortcut keys.
Note: This issue may be a duplicate with other existing accessibility-related bugs in this project. This issue comes from the Gutenberg accessibility audit, performed by Tenon and funded by WP Campus. This issue is GUT-51 in Tenon's report
