- Topic: Active Input Focus
- 17:11:17 [KimPatch]
- active input focus and input focus -- put in same block?
- 17:11:32 [Greg]
- If and when we collapse multiple terms into a single glossary entry, I
suggest we include cross-references.
- 17:12:37 [KimPatch]
- Greg: one glossary entry for all three terms sorted under input focus,
because they're really all the same except active and inactive
variations.
- 17:13:41 [Greg]
- Another alternative to collapsing the input focus, inactive input
focus, and active input focus together would be to have a single
definition for input focus and a separate pair of entries for active and
inactive. Thus when we use "active input focus" (which the document does
NOT currently use at all) we could have that phrase be two separate
links, one to "active" and one to "input focus".
- 17:14:23 [KimPatch]
- Jim: do use inactive anywhere in the success criteria
- 17:14:47 [KimPatch]
- Jim: Does this is just muddy the waters
- 17:15:27 [KimPatch]
- Greg: we can cut out eventually, but it's good to have the moment of
thinking about them at first
- 17:17:16 [KimPatch]
- Great: at the moment neither active nor an active is used in the
document with the exception of one e.g. Which is a different meaning of
the term
- 17:17:58 [KimPatch]
- Jim: anybody have any objections to including all of them
- 17:19:04 [KimPatch]
- Greg: leave them in but put a note if not used
- 17:20:04 [jeanne]
- action: Jeanne to update the glossary entry to note the definitions
that are not currently used as an Editors Note.
- 17:20:04 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-355 - Update the glossary entry to note the definitions
that are not currently used as an Editors Note. [on Jeanne Spellman - due
2010-04-22].
- 17:20:12 [Greg]
- To clarify, leave them in the working draft, and the note would say
they could be removed from the final version if not used.
- 17:20:57 [Greg]
- Just a note, re "active input focus" and other related terms,
Technically you can't have "the" active input focus, but rather one input
focus for each input device. Thus this should really be "For an input
device..."
- 17:22:23 [AllanJ]
- Action: Jeanne to add def of Active input focus - The *input focus*
location in the *active viewport*. The active input focus is usually
visibly indicated. In this document "active input focus" generally refers
to the active keyboard input focus. to glossary, ncu

- Topic: Cursor
- 17:28:21 [KimPatch]
- Jim: Patrick's comment -- cursor/^?
- 17:28:35 [KimPatch]
- Greg: we should get him to explain what he means
- 17:29:12 [KimPatch]
- Jim: is the technical people people call it ^ and others call it
cursor?
- 17:29:50 [AllanJ]
- ^ = carat
- 17:30:04 [AllanJ]
- s/carat/caret
- 17:30:51 [KimPatch]
- Greg: Mark suggesting and new success criteria -- put that as an
issue?
- 17:31:25 [KimPatch]
- Jim: Marcs question is should an inactive viewport remain visible
- 17:31:34 [KimPatch]
- Jim: is there an accessibility benefit
- 17:32:52 [KimPatch]
- Greg:when you're using assistive technology if you need to move the
Arrow, whose information as to where you command will have affect in the
document window -- that being said I would not want to put this in
because it would be going against the user interface conventions in many
platforms. Windows convention is to hide inactive ^.
- 17:33:09 [KimPatch]
- Greg:we could put it in as low priority
- 17:33:26 [KimPatch]
- Jim: didn't hear any objections pending comments from Patrick --
- 17:33:49 [kford]
- none here.
- 17:34:12 [KimPatch]
- Jim: any objections to the definition
- 17:35:13 [KimPatch]
- Greg:were we have the definition in the second sentence -- changing to
flashing vertical bar in text field, also known as ^
- 17:35:15 [AllanJ]
- Action: Jeanne to add cursor - Visual indicator showing where keyboard
input will occur. There are two types of cursors: *focus cursor* (e.g.
the dotted line around a button) and *text cursor* (e.g. the flashing
vertical bar in a text field, also called a 'caret'). Cursors are active
when in the active viewport, and inactive when in an inactive viewport.

- 17:36:50 [KimPatch]
- Greg: focus cursor is one subset of cursor-- focus cursor and text
cursor -- we could make that clear here
- 17:39:00 [KimPatch]
- Simon: does it make more sense to you have something called touch
cursor and focus cursor within that
- 17:39:19 [KimPatch]
- Greg: make sense -- collapse in the editing process
- 17:40:09 [AllanJ]

interface element to show that it has *keyboard focus*, e.g. a dotted
line around a button, or brightened title bar on a window. There are two

items -- should consistent, probably all be focusablel elements
- 17:41:55 [KimPatch]
- Jim: the objections
- 17:42:42 [AllanJ]
- action: Jeanne to add Focasable element- Any element capable of having
input focus, e.g. link, text box, or menu item. In order to be accessible
and fully usable, every focusable element should take keyboard focus, and
ideally would also take pointer focus.

- 17:42:46 [KimPatch]
- Jim: if it were bound visibly then everything would show up as long as
you were in ^ browsing-- could we get someone to craft an extension
- 17:43:40 [KimPatch]
- Greg: working on learning Firefox extensions so we can prototype
- 17:44:52 [KimPatch]
- Jim: David Bolter, browserscope.org where compiling information about
browser functionality -- his statement was I wonder if this is a good
venue for building a library of browser extensibility or keep track of
limitations

for example a specific set of foreground and background colors for the
title bar of the active window. Note that content that is highlighted may
or may not be a *selection*. to the glossary

- Topic: inactive input focus
- 17:47:09 [KimPatch]
- Jim: no objections
- 17:47:53 [Greg]
- Changing "The" to "An" would get around the problem I mentioned earlier
about the fact that there can be one input focus per input device.
- 17:48:08 [AllanJ]
- action: jeannes to add Inactive Input Focus - An input focus location
in an inactive viewport such as a background window or pane. The inactive
input focus location will become the active input focus location when
input focus returns to that viewport. An inactive input focus may or may
not be visibly indicated. to the glossary

- Topic: keyboard focus
- 17:51:50 [KimPatch]
- Jim: Patrick comment -- distinguish between keyboard input and keyboard
interaction -- trying to distinguish between typing and causing something
to activate, but I think anything from the keyboard is keyboard input
- 17:52:25 [KimPatch]
- Greg: not sure we're understanding his concern-- goahead, but have him
elaborate
- 17:52:37 [KimPatch]
- Jim: any objections to that
- 17:53:45 [KimPatch]
- Greg: understand there's a major difference between this keyboard focus
and ANSI -- this is talking about a location where input will occur --
others talk about keyboard focus as current assignment to element --
that's much more targeted, it's a property that gets moved around and
always about a user interface element not a screen location.
- 17:54:25 [KimPatch]
- Jim: ours is broader -- you do a left arrow it moves left in addition
to being in a menu system -- we have to be vague because we're trying to
cover so many different bases were we get really convoluted in our
words

- Topic: pointer
- 18:00:05 [KimPatch]
- Jim: Mark has same question about calling out UIs
- 18:00:54 [KimPatch]
- Greg:confusion between pointing device and pointer -- touch screens
typically pointing device not pointer, device is users finger. We can put
in note clarifying this because it's obviously a point of confusion.
- 18:02:33 [Greg]
- NOTE: When touch screens are used, the "pointing device" is a
combination of the touch screen and the user's finger or stylus. On most
systems there is no pointer (on-screen visual indication) associated with
this type of pointing device.

- 18:12:40 [KimPatch]

- 18:13:08 [KimPatch]
- Greg: selection, highlighting a focus are all currently missing from
2.1 and all should be there
- 18:14:01 [KimPatch]
- Jim: could fall under 2.16? subset of an element?
- 18:15:06 [Greg]
- So to 2.1.6 add bullets for selection, highlighting, and input device
foci.
- 18:16:16 [KimPatch]
- Jim: highlighting versus selection?
- 18:17:16 [KimPatch]
- Greg: e-mail with screenshots that clarified. Highlighting can be used
for many different things -- one is to indicate selection, but it's also
used for other things such as highlighting matched text after a search
operation, when navigation is separated from focus-- using search key --
highlighting is very broad
