<scribe> New Summary of gl 2.1

Summary: Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus

(2.1.2) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important or

common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), override keyboard

shortcuts in content and user interface (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps

(2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menuoes

not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6) and use

standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).@@removed 2.1.3...just the

numerals no words removed.

Intent of Success Criterion 2.2.2:

It is important for the user to be able to jump directly to the next

or previous viewports without having to visit every element in a

viewport on the way to the next viewport, because that can add an

exorbitant number of navigation commands to operations that should be

both easy and efficient. User need keyboard access to all viewports

and all enabled elements so that they can manipulate them, view them

with screen magnifiers, or have them described by screen readers. The

ability to move both forward and backward through the navigation order

greatly reduces the number of keystrokes and allows the user to more

easily recover from mistakes in overshooting a destination. @@This

navigation can be between viewports within the application, or between

windows or applications. This includes the user agent's user

interface, extensions to the user interface (e.g. add-on), content,

and plug-ins handling content. @@added from 213@@

Action-707

Since 2.1.4 is deleted the summary for GL 2.1 needs to be rewritten

and GL 2.1 will need to be RENUMBERED.

Summary: Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus

(2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important

or common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), escape keyboard traps

(2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menues

not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6) and use

standard keys for that platform (2.1.7). @@removed section on 214@@

<scribe> New Summary for GL 2.3 @@newstuff@@

Summary: Users can navigate directly (e.g. keyboard shortcuts) to

important elements (2.3.1) with the option of immediate activation of

the operable elements (2.3.3). Display commands with the elements to

make it easier for users to discover the commands (2.3.2 & 2.3.4). The

user can remap @@and save the user interface and content@@ direct

commands to their needs (2.3.5).

<scribe> New Summary for GL 2.3

Summary: Users can navigate directly (e.g. keyboard shortcuts) to

important elements (2.3.1) with the option of immediate activation of

the operable elements (2.3.3). Display commands with the elements to

make it easier for users to discover the commands (2.3.2 & 2.3.4). The user can remap and save direct commands (2.3.5).

<scribe> new first paragraph for intent of 235

Intent of Success Criterion 2.3.5

Some users may be able to hit certain keys on the keyboard with

greater ease than others. Assistive technology software typically has

extensive keyboard commands as well. The goal of this SC is to enable

the user to be in control of what happens when a given key is pressed

and use the keyboard commands that meet his or her needs, and the

ability to save the modifications.@@added from 214@@

Action-700

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2012JanMar/0003.html

<Greg> Existing 2.1.6: 2.1.6 Separate Selection from Activation (former 2.1.4): The user can specify that selection is separate from activation (e.g. navigating through a set of radio buttons without changing which is the active/selected option). (Level A)

<Greg> Existing 3.4.2: 3.4.2 Avoid Side Effects of Navigation [former 1.9.1, before that 3.11.11, changed]: The user can move the keyboard focus without causing the user agent to take any further action, other than the presentation of information (e.g. scrolling or pop-ups that do not change the focus or selection). (Level A)

<Greg> Jan's proposed combination: 2.1.6 Navigation Without Side Effects: The user can specify that focus and selection can be moved without causing side effects (further changes in focus, selection or the state of controls) by either the user agent or author content. (Level A)

jim, kim +1

gl: lost the caveat that help text and pop ups are ok
... this will fail all UAs. when you tab to a link the url shows on the status line

<Greg> I think we need to keep the "other than the presentation of information (e.g. scrolling or pop-ups that do not change the focus or selection)" so that browsers don't fail for showing you the URL a link points to, etc.

<Greg> Or something to that effect.

Navigation Without Side Effects: The user can specify that focus and selection can be moved without causing further changes in focus, selection or the state of controls, by either the user agent or author content.
