As Kim says, you should not have to stop to check on where the focus is at any step in the process. 17:35:46 jr: mousekeys sub actions, 1 5 6 go for a link 17:36:05 kp: if you have to think between commands not direct 17:36:50 jr: nav system is direct if allows focus to move to an item without passing through other similar items 17:38:06 kp: if navigating to a specific section, then 2 commands, section list, then find appropriate section. 17:38:24 gl: other taxonomies, prefix navigation. 17:38:41 kp: similar to browsing vs searching. 17:39:12 question: what is direct navigation 17:39:58 jr: how many steps are involved in a direct command 17:39:59 The real issue is to address MS09 "It is highly debatable as to which navigation methods are considered as "directly" navigable. " 17:40:54 type written macro, keyboard shortcut is directly 17:41:01 kp: a macro is direct, keyboard short cut is direct, tab is not 17:41:41 ... typing a T is not. it is nav to a subset of larger navigation 17:41:41 tab keys would not be, the letter t, that brings you to a the first thing starting with t 17:43:59 direct command to a section or chunk or similar elements. 17:44:16 js: like independent of current location. 17:44:27 gl: part of definition 17:46:00 jr: seq. nav...show me the next one. 17:46:30 ... in direct nav, you must know where you are going. how do you find out? 17:46:57 ... visually, aurally - headings list. 17:47:33 gl: or explore the entire page sequentially, then remember where you want to go, then go there. 17:48:00 jr: what are we asking for. ... a new feature ... make users more efficient 17:48:58 ... a generalize system - add indicator for enabled elements, to move directly to a specific element 17:51:23 gl: number of keystrokes is immaterial, its about functioning with chunks 17:52:06 jr: is this definable enough that we can require it of UAs and talk about methods for making this happen 17:52:39 kp: make sure you don't have items you can't get to without clicking. 17:53:14 ... then there are enabled elements - numbering, or something like that 17:58:05 Direct Commands are referenced in 2.1.1 and 2.3.1-4. 17:58:07 2.1.1 does not distinguish between direct and other commands, so the definition might not be relevant. In fact, I'm not sure what we're trying to exclude with the clause. 17:58:08 2.3.1 needs to have an exception when there are too many enabled elements (e.g. 500 buttons). 17:58:10 2.3.2 needs to have an exception for items that do not support an activation action (e.g. a text entry field). 17:58:56 s/items/enabled elements/ 18:00:28 2.5.2 Provide Structural Navigation by Heading and within Tables 18:01:36 ja: no where do we say that the UA must provide *direct* nav to non enabled elements 18:04:51 -Jeanne 18:05:17 +Jeanne 18:05:44 ja: directly is not subjective. for example the MouseKeys extension allows a user to directly navigate to 'enabled' elements. 18:08:35 From Implementing 2.3.1: People who are blind or have mobility problems often find it difficult or impossible to use a mouse to move the viewport to, and focus on, important elements. Some other form of direct navigation – such as numbers or key combinations assigned to important elements – should be available. Direct navigation can be accessed via keyboard, which also supports other forms of 18:08:35 input, such as gesture, speech and touch. 18:08:45 js: we have defined direct commands. we mention mouseless browsing extension. 18:10:46 Directly: using a direct command (link) 18:14:46 UAWG removed term 'important' 18:15:28 added a new definition for "directly" to make it clear that it is a direct command. 18:15:54 these two changes make SC more objective. 18:16:20 gl: because we had such a hard time defining 'direct command' that we need to be clearer. 18:18:26 Not so much defining it, but we ended up discussing is so long and addressing confusion about what is and isn't. For example, clarifying that it's not a matter of how many keystrokes, and that typing a letter repeatedly to get to the fifth item starting with that letter is not adequate. 18:18:52 Thus I feel we could add some more language helping clarify it, including a list of examples. 18:19:14 -Kelly 18:22:01 gl: clarify list...these things are 'direct commands', these things are not and why. 18:23:09 glossary is normative. 18:23:54 could put a clarifying list of examples in the implementing document in 2.3.1, etc. 18:24:47 to do: 18:25:03 cross link 'command' and keyboard command definitions 18:25:17 adding 'directly' definition 18:26:39 action: jeanne to add definition of "directly"; crosslinking direct command and direct key command definitions 18:26:39 Created ACTION-985 - Add definition of "directly"; crosslinking direct command and direct key command definitions [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2014-06-19]. 18:28:41 rrsagent, make minutes 18:28:41 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/06/12-ua-minutes.html allanj 18:31:18 https://github.com/jspellman/UAAG 18:32:43 -Jan 18:32:58 -Kim_Patch 18:33:01 -Greg_Lowney 18:40:13 zakim, please part 18:40:13 leaving.
