Keyboard (keyboard emulator, keyboard interface)

The standard set of letters and command keys that allow a user to control the computer. Assistive technologies have traditionally relied on the keyboard interface as a universal, or modality independent interface. Note that in this document references to keyboard, keyboard emulator and keyboard interface include the keyboard’s role as a modality independent interface (see Modality...

<Greg> We changed the title of "2.6.1 List event handlers: The user can call up a list of input device event handlers explicitly associated with the keyboard focus element, and activate any one or more of the event handlers. (Level A)" to reflect that we combined former 2.6.1 and 2.6.2. New title is "Access to event handlers".

<Greg> For comparison, here is the definition from the latest 508/255 ANPRM: Keyboard. A set of systematically arranged alphanumeric keys or a control that generates alphanumeric input by which a machine or device is operated. A keyboard includes tactilely discernible keys used in conjunction with the alphanumeric keys if their function maps to keys on the keyboard interfaces.

<Greg> ATAG has definitions for keyboard interface and keyboard trap, but not for keyboard.

<Greg> Where you now says "Note that in this document references to keyboard, keyboard emulator and keyboard interface include the keyboard’s role as a modality independent interface"

<Greg> how about something like

<Greg> "Note that in this document references to keyboard include keyboard emulators and keyboard interfaces that make use of the keyboard’s role as a modality independent interface..."

<Greg> I'd also add "Keyboard emulators and interfaces may be used on devices which do not have a physical keyboard."

<Greg> "Keyboard emulators and interfaces may be used on devices which do not have a physical keyboard, such as mobile devices based on touchscreen input."

<jeanne> The letter, symbol and command keys or key indicators that allow a user to control a computing device. Assistive technologies have traditionally relied on the keyboard interface as a universal, or modality independent interface. Keyboard emulators and interfaces may be used on devices which do not have a physical keyboard, such as mobile devices based on touchscreen input. In this document references

<jeanne> to keyboard include keyboard emulators and keyboard interfaces that make use of the keyboard's role as a modality independent interface (see Modality Independence Principle)

<kford> Note, we reviews SC from 2.1 to 2.6.

<kford> We identified those with open actions or indicated as no we do not agree at TPAC.

<kford> We marked several done if they appeared to be complete based on no actions or not indicated as no.
