Keyboard traps can make parts of a website unusable for people who rely on keyboard support.
Here are 5 key ways to prevent traps:
- Use native HTML elements, as they come with keyboard support built in.
- Keep keyboard interactions simple: Tab/Shift Tab to move, Escape to close, arrows to navigate.
- Manage focus properly: send it to the first interactive element inside the component when it opens, and return to the trigger when closed.
