Hi, Bootstrap 3 has improved some of its accessibility, Is there any doco on how relevant this plugin is ? how much it is still needed? This plugin is over a year old, although there are commits in the last few weeks, but i cant find recent documentation. From quick usage it appears it still adds better keyboard nav to things like tabs and accordions Is the css still required? why? what does it add? were the comments made in issue 74 addressed? Thanks heaps for the plugin and making bootstrap more accessible cheers, Ben

P.S. does anyone know why after a year bootstrap didnt just include the code from this plugin in their core code?

BS latest have lot of accessibility improvements. I didn't find time to test their latest. I wish users like @jmuheim , test the original BS and file the issues in their repository. Instead of using the full js, you can compile for whatever components you need from https://github.com/paypal/bootstrap-accessibility-plugin/tree/master/src/js and modifying in Gruntfile https://github.com/paypal/bootstrap-accessibility-plugin/blob/master/Gruntfile.js. In this way you can choose if you need the modified or the original.

Add. info: This checklist can help to test custom widgets: http://w3c.github.io/aria-in-html/#checklist Also I personally don't like multiple tab stops in custom widgets which is annoying for screen reader users.
