The Planning product team works continuously to implement operable features using the industry standard keyboard interactions. We consider the requirements for each component, so users can perceive and operate efficiently.

Keyboard navigation patterns differ between browsers (Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, Chrome), but the interactions within a specific browser are common and consistent.

The platform has a skip button mechanism to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple pages, such as headers and main navigation. This allows users to jump directly to the main content area.

Users can tab until the keyboard focuses on the Skip to main content button that goes directly to the main content of the page.

Users can navigate the application sequentially using the keyboard. Interactive elements receive focus in the order that content is visually arranged, preserving meaning and operability.
