Public comments, accessible authentication, cleanup, issues with parsing brought during the AGWG review, and other things 15:07:46 ... I have gotten feedback that sometimes it is confusing to figure out where we are on something 15:08:11 ... We can have pointers but prpobably we should put more focus on what the current proposal is 15:08:43 MJ: Anything that you can help with, please contribute, especially if you are assigned in the GitHub issue 15:09:00 ... We have the Friday calls for at least a couple of weeks, we may extend these based on our progress 15:09:49 ... Each week I am going to pick up a few things for us to discuss 15:10:30 q? 15:11:05 MJ: t the f 15:11:36 Mj: At the Friday meeting we talked about some of the closed functionality SCs. We opened a new discussion 15:11:38 mitch11 has joined #wcag2ict 15:11:43 Discussion: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/discussions/302 for Name, Role, Value SC 15:11:45 present+ 15:13:10 s/MJ: t the f/ 15:13:18 zakim, take up next 15:13:18 agendum 2 -- SC Problematic for Closed functionality -- taken up [from maryjom] 15:13:35 TOPIC: 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts (proposal from Friday sub-group) 15:13:58 MJ: We have a proposal from the sub group 15:15:26 MJ: Maybe there is a bullet needed in the main guidance because it is not just closed functionality which needs the notes 15:15:39 ... The proposal adds at in the closed functionality section as well as on the main guidance 15:15:51 Option 1: Add the following notes 15:15:52 q+ to say seem same? 15:16:02 Note: Where there is no keyboard interface that provides character key input or keyboard shortcuts, this success criterion is satisfied. 15:16:16 q- 15:16:21 Bruce: What is the difference between these two? 15:17:53 q+ 15:18:25 ack mitch 15:18:25 ack mitch11 15:18:43 Mitch: AFter the thing you copied there was a concern of mine in the minutes 15:19:16 ... We edited for when keys are present but still there were no keyboard shortcuts 15:19:52 q+ 15:20:28 MJ: It seemed there was only one bullet added to the general guidance. I have it on my own word document 15:20:30 q? 15:20:34 ack bruce_bailey 15:21:35 https://www.w3.org/2024/01/12-wcag2ict-minutes#t01 15:21:47 q+ 15:22:26 q+ 15:22:33 Greg: "is satisfied" is a normative comment, you can't put it in that form 15:23:06 Greg: According to WCAG, when something does not exist, the success criteria would be [...]. I am trying to stay away from should and shall 15:23:28 q+ 15:23:29 q? 15:23:34 ack Sam 15:24:05 Sam: I think this is great. We should not get into WCAG's definition of keyboard interface 15:24:11 ack mitch 15:24:23 ack GreggVan 15:24:25 Mitch: I was mistaken before because I hadn't scrolled down on this page. I'm with Sam 15:24:49 Greg: It's good, it just needs some tweaking. There is no keyboard interface available to the software 15:25:30 ... "Character key input or keyboard shortcuts" -- We are switching back and forth between the platform and the software 15:25:43 q+ 15:25:48 ack PhilDay 15:26:06 q+ 15:26:08 ... The sentence is talking about these two things but it's not telling which is which 15:26:26 Phil: Waht if we eliminate "keyboard input" 15:26:55 suggest "keyboard interface that provides character key shortcuts" instead of "keyboard interface that provides character key input or keyboard shortcuts" 15:27:03 Greg: That does not work. For example with a product with keyboard that does not provide keyboard shortcuts 15:27:50 q+ 15:27:50 MJ: Character key shortcuts is about having a single character shortcut where you also have the potential to interfeer with keyboard entry for text 15:27:50 ... It does not matter who provides this 15:27:50 proposal responding to Gregg's and Phil's comments: Where software does not use a keyboard interface, there is no possibility of keyboard shortcuts and this success criterion would be satisfied. 15:27:53 > Note: Where there is no keyboard interface that provides keyboard shortcuts, this success criterion is satisfied. 15:27:59 for reference https://w3c.github.io/wcag2ict/#character-key-shortcuts 15:28:11 q? 15:28:14 ack GreggVan 15:28:20 Greg: This provision starts with "If a keyboard shorcut is implemented in content". 15:28:37 q+ 15:28:37 ... That is already clear from the SC language, no need to add it here 15:29:12 ack sam 15:29:18 ack Sam 15:29:36 > If a keyboard shortcut is implemented in content using only letter (including upper- and lower-case letters), punctuation, number, or symbol characters, then at least one of the following is true... 15:29:46 Sam: I think it gives clarity to the note, it makes it more clear to general ICT 15:29:58 ... I'd change the wor to "supportive" though, but still think we should keep it 15:30:26 q? 15:30:34 MJ: This note will go on the main SC guidance 15:30:42 q+ to try and channel phil 15:31:00 q+ 15:31:03 ack mitch 15:31:50 Mitch: I've been convinced about the note. It was overly confusing not to say something. I would agree with Greg 15:32:16 s/Greg/Gregg/g 15:32:29 > Where software does not use a keyboard interface, there is no possibility of keyboard shortcuts and this success criterion would be satisfied. 15:32:32 Mitch: Proposed tweak to the second part of the sentence 15:32:39 at 10:27 15:33:03 ack bruce_bailey 15:33:03 bruce_bailey, you wanted to try and channel phil 15:33:18 Bruce: Agree, it's helpful to have the note 15:33:40 ... The difficulty is that the literal qualifier on the SC is hard to parse in the context of software 15:33:55 q? 15:34:05 ack GreggVan 15:34:05 ack GreggVan 15:34:37 Gregg: The keyboard interface is not the software, that's the OS, it's either there or not there 15:35:06 ... Where the app does not accept keyboard input or does not have any keyboard shortcuts, these item is met 15:35:42 Proposal from Gregg: Where software either does not accept keyboard input, or accept keyboard shortcuts, this success criteria would be satisfied. 15:35:57 ... Also we could say "If the underlying paltform does not have keyboard interface" 15:36:10 q+ 15:36:13 MJ: It's not just the app, it may mean specific functionality type of device 15:36:17 Gregg: Does not matter 15:36:21 ack mitch 15:37:05 Mitch: I'm confused about what you are critiquing. I think I addressed that in my proposal 15:37:45 ... I think we don't need the "or" anymore 15:38:32 Gregg: What about if the device provides this? The purpose of this one is to not interfere with AT 15:38:41 q+ 15:39:33 q+ to suggest we focus on note in main SC first, then have separate discussion on problematic for closed... 15:39:41 ... IF keys are designed so that each mean their own thing, that sounds like buttons in an app. Can you explain this? 15:39:50 Sam: That's how it is defined in the SC 15:39:56 ack mitch 15:40:10 q+ 15:40:14 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#character-key-shortcuts 15:40:37 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#dfn-keyboard-shortcuts 15:40:43 > alternative means of triggering an action by the pressing of one or more keys 15:41:01 Mitch: Maybe it only belongs in the main guidance. Those wouldn't be keyboard shortcuts according to the definition. I don't think they are very common, only game controlers, or numeric keypads as interfaces to the computers 15:41:49 ... Or maybe in option one the two paragraphs need to be "and". 15:41:57 ack PhilDay 15:41:57 PhilDay, you wanted to suggest we focus on note in main SC first, then have separate discussion on problematic for closed... 15:42:11 +1 to main SC first 15:42:16 Phil: I wonder if we should just focus on the text for the main SC first and then come back to the closed functionality section 15:42:21 ack Sam 15:43:11 Sam: Here it also defines keyboard interface. This would bring more clarity because it links to the definition and explains if it belongs to the software or the platform 15:43:12 q+ 15:43:16 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/keyboard.html#dfn-keyboard-interface 15:43:21 ack GreggVan 15:43:35 Gregg: We have a requirement that software be operable from the keyboard 15:43:49 ... Then we have a requirement that says if you don't take input from the keyboard, the SC is met 15:44:11 ... If there is a keyboard, you have to take input from it 15:44:44 ... We would be saying that if something is a WCAG violation you are still passing this other one 15:45:32 ... IF you have menu-like interfaces they would meet the keyboard operability but still it will interfere with the AT 15:46:01 q+ 15:46:19 ... The AT uses to get the keystroke first, therer is always going to be conflicts 15:47:00 MJ: The problem is with voice control. It needs to be possible to type and to activate the shortcut 15:47:04 q? 15:47:41 Gregg: In the menu-like interface, if the only purpose of the key is that one function and it's not used somewhere else, you can't interfere 15:48:36 q+ to ask if we already tried focusing on the "shortcut" aspect? 15:48:44 ack mitch 15:49:10 Mitch: I think screen reader could be a use case. Dexterity is another use case. Voice control was the primary one 15:49:45 ... Passing an SC while failing others is not unique to this. It's common in other parts of WCAG 15:50:13 q? 15:50:16 ack bruce_bailey 15:50:16 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if we already tried focusing on the "shortcut" aspect? 15:50:24 q+ 15:52:29 ack GreggVan 15:52:49 MJ: Ther is ICT with no keyboard interface (even no onscreen keyboard), I wouldn't say that's not accessible. There might be specific keys assigned to specific functions and other approaches 15:52:55 ack GreggVan 15:53:36 Gregg: WCAG only talks about open. It would be difficult for us to try to solve this in other closed functionality provisions as well 15:53:45 Poll: do we need a note in the general guidance for sc 2.1.4? Yes or no? 15:53:51 yes 15:53:53 s/interfeer/interfere/g 15:54:00 no -- if it is open it is clear from text 15:54:12 yes preferred; also okay with no 15:54:13 no -- but I want to double check where we are with 2.1.1 15:54:20 no 15:54:34 no 15:55:07 q+ to ask if we are done with 2.1.1 ? 15:55:07 yes 15:55:09 https://w3c.github.io/wcag2ict/#applying-sc-2-1-1-keyboard-to-non-web-documents-and-software 15:55:34 +1 to only in closed 15:55:51 Phil: I think it's helpful as it clarifies what happens where there is no keyboard interface. I'm fine with putting this only in closed functionality if people agree 15:56:00 Mitch: If other people think it adds clarity, but I can go with the majority 15:56:02 q? 15:56:20 ack bruce_bailey 15:56:20 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if we are done with 2.1.1 ? 15:56:43 Bruce: I'd double check if we are done with 2.1.1. It seems we are 15:56:53 MJ: We didn't even touch it in the main guidance 15:57:58 Sam: Agree with Phil 15:58:27 4 said no, 2 yes, 1 yes preferred but could go with no 15:58:41 General note is helpful for clarity (and could be removed if majority rule), but note in closed functionality is a must from my perspective 15:59:17 Phil: I am still a "yes" but I would be happy to go with the majority if we still have it in closed 15:59:27 Sam: Same here 16:00:03 DRAFT RESOLUTION: Don't add a note to 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts general guidance. 16:00:08 +1 16:00:10 +1 16:00:12 +1 16:00:14 +1 16:00:14 +1 16:00:23 +1 but will add note in Closed Function 16:00:25 Thanks all, dropping 16:00:27 RESOLUTION: Don't add a note to 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts general guidance. 16:00:32 +1 16:01:36 rrsagent, make minutes 16:01:37 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2024/01/18-wcag2ict-minutes.html dmontalvo 16:15:56 ShawnT has joined #wcag2ict 16:26:01 ShawnT has joined #wcag2ict
