11 accept as proposed with 3 comments requesting changes
16:12:01 [Joshue108]
zakim, ping me in 5 mins
16:12:01 [Zakim]
ok, Joshue108
16:12:15 [Glenda]
AWK: my suggestion is a rephrasing. “I think that this one should be handled more in line with the HTML5 spec for keyboard shortcuts.
16:12:15 [Glenda]
If a <a>keyboard shortcut</a> consisting entirely of one or more <a>character keys</a> is implemented by the content @@to activate or focus a control that is not currently focused@@, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key.”
16:12:40 [JF]
Q+
16:12:54 [Joshue108]
ack JF
16:13:34 [Glenda]
JF: prefer that we use the wording “modifier key”
16:14:46 [JF]
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/66524/20170920_survey/results#xq4
16:15:10 [Glenda]
AWK: the character key question and modifier key is handled in the definiiton. We could make it clearer. But I think we should deal with that separately.
16:15:35 [Joshue108]
q?
16:15:44 [Glenda]
Joshue: Can everyone live with this?
16:16:08 [Glenda]

16:17:02 [Zakim]
Joshue108, you asked to be pinged at this time
16:17:39 [AWK]
Original: If a keyboard shortcut consisting entirely of one or more character keys is implemented by the content, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key.
16:17:40 [Glenda]
Detlev’s suggestion: would suggest to change the text from
16:17:40 [Glenda]
"unless the character key is only active when a control has focus"
16:17:41 [Glenda]
to
16:17:42 [Glenda]
"unless the keyboard shortcut is only active when a control has focus"
16:18:02 [AWK]
Detlev's: If a keyboard shortcut consisting entirely of one or more character keys is implemented by the content, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key, unless the keyboard shortcut is only active when a control has focus
16:18:15 [david-macdonald]
unless the character key is only active when a control has focus.
16:18:29 [AWK]
Steve's: If a keyboard shortcut consisting entirely of one or more character keys is implemented by the content, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key, unless the keyboard shortcut is only active when a particular user interface component has focus
16:18:40 [AWK]
AWK's: If a <a>keyboard shortcut</a> consisting entirely of one or more <a>character keys</a> is implemented by the content @@to activate or focus a control that is not currently focused@@, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key.
16:19:34 [jasonjgw]

16:21:56 [Glenda]
Joshue: I agree on consistency. Prefer “control”.
16:22:45 [Joshue108]
If a <a>keyboard shortcut</a> consisting entirely of one or more <a>character keys</a> is implemented by the content @@to activate or focus a control that is not currently focused@@, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key, unless the keyboard shortcut is only active when a particular control component has focus.

16:23:52 [Glenda]
Jason: we use the term “user interface component” more consistenly then we use the word “control”
16:23:58 [AWK]
+AWK
16:24:36 [AWK]
John, what if we replaced "one non-character key" with "one key that is not a character key"?
16:24:39 [laura]

ack JF
16:25:28 [AWK]
q+
16:26:12 [Glenda]
JF: 26 references to user interface component and 30+ references to control. We need to tighten that up. We are using both terms. We need to standardize.
16:26:50 [Joshue108]
ack awk
16:28:23 [Glenda]
AWK: the word “control” is in the definition of “user interface component”. So, we can look at this as a different item. Let’s focus on the proposed SC text that Josh has just written (see next).
16:28:24 [JF]
s/30+ references/36 references
16:29:36 [Glenda]
AWK: reconsider the contrstuction of my proposal. easier to read and easier to parse.
16:30:01 [Glenda]
Joshue: can steve and detlev live with AWK’s proposal
16:30:05 [Joshue108]
If a keyboard shortcut consisting entirely of one or more character keys is implemented by the content to activate or focus a control that is not currently focused, then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key.
16:30:18 [KimD]
Should Andrew's say "...to activate or ++give++ focus ++to++ a control that --is not-- ++does not++ currently have focus..."?
16:30:28 [Glenda]
Steve: Yes. I can live with AWK’s proposal.

16:31:14 [JF]
Q+
16:31:17 [AWK]
uses "focus" as a verb in mine, like in the HTML5 spec
16:31:20 [Glenda]

16:31:31 [Joshue108]
ack JF
16:32:33 [Glenda]
JF: real problem is single key shortcuts. so the mechanism to turn it off, I can support that. But the remapping to multiple key shortcut that includes a modifier and another key. I’m not sure this is being conveyed.
16:32:56 [alastairc]
Sorry, i have to depart now, I'll check the minutes later tonight.
16:34:23 [Glenda]
then a mechanism is available to turn it off or to remap it to a shortcut that uses at least one non-character key. (should be “at least one non-character key and a modifer key).
16:34:40 [Glenda]
JF: need a modifer key plus
16:35:13 [Joshue108]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character
16:35:27 [jimal]
modifier key for access key is controlled by the browser
16:36:35 [jimal]
single key (hot key) in a web application is controlled by the author in javascript ... not anything like accesskey
16:36:40 [Joshue108]
q+ to say Single character short cuts are not accesskey
16:36:41 [Joshue108]
ack me
16:36:41 [Zakim]
Joshue, you wanted to say Single character short cuts are not accesskey
16:37:37 [AWK]
@JF, your concern is not with my text, but with the original SC text
16:38:01 [Glenda]
JF: my concern with AWK’s language is that I could map the single character shortcut key of “L” to “CTRL”. It needs to require at least 2 keys (one being a modifier).
16:38:16 [Glenda]
Joshue: need to leave this open, need to do more research, I think
16:39:01 [Glenda]
AWK: I’m not seeing the issue that JF is raising is part of what we are trying to address here. There is a cascade problem here.
16:39:53 [Joshue108]
q+
16:40:08 [Glenda]
AWK: we need to address James comment first. Then we can address JF’s issue. One at a time.

16:42:43 [Glenda]

I had to step out for a bit, back now

ack JF
16:50:30 [Glenda]
JF: I support James in 3 to 1 being sufficient.
16:50:45 [laura]
The need is real. LVTF reached out to Gordon Legge, Distinguished low vision researcher from the University of Minnesota. His recommendation is in my survey response. He summed it up by saying, "Bottom line: Contrast requirements for form controls should be equivalent to contrast requirements for text..."
16:50:45 [AWK]
ack dav
16:51:57 [Glenda]
David: 2 sides and both have valid concerns. Testing burden on this would be high. Concerned about 3 way contrast for focus indicator.
16:52:24 [jimal]
Q+ to say many techniques to adjust focus indicator
16:52:31 [Glenda]
David: probably need to take this up at TPAC

q+ to say that this also covers selection color, such as in a listbox
16:53:29 [AWK]
ack AWK
16:53:29 [Zakim]
AWK, you wanted to say that this also covers selection color, such as in a listbox
16:53:35 [Glenda]
Jim: The 3 way contrast, there is always outline offset, to move it 3 pixels away, then you really are just dealing with a 2 color contrast (not 3). Or dashed lines, can get you to only need to be concerned about 2 colors.
16:54:16 [steverep]
q+ to say there are many many ways to avoid 3-way, and those may need normative changes to convey properly
16:54:40 [laura]
If an author touches it, then they need to do it right. If they don't, then it's a browser issue and they are off the hook.
16:54:59 [Glenda]
Jim: if the author didn’t make a change, then there is an exception. If they do make their own components, they need to make it visible.
16:55:04 [AWK]
ack steve
16:55:04 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to say there are many many ways to avoid 3-way, and those may need normative changes to convey properly
16:56:03 [Glenda]
Steve: There are so many ways in CSS to make things more distinguishable. You can completely avoid the 3 way contrast problem. We just need to work on how to avoide the 3 way contrast problem.
16:57:30 [Glenda]
RESOLUTION: Leave UIC Contrast discussion for TPAC
