Maps can have 100's of dots, which can also be problematic due to grouping, it really depends what you do outside that map. I think it's difficult to tell without entire context 13:12:46 On desktop you can make the map pins focusable with arrow keys like radio buttons rather than tab key so they can skip past faster with keyboard. 13:14:08 q+ 13:14:20 ack Detlev 13:15:05 its often confused with reading order yes 13:15:07 Detlev Do we have concensus that focus order does refer to keyboard as opposed to swipe focus order (screen reader) 13:15:23 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#dfn-navigated-sequentially 13:15:40 q+ 13:16:25 @JJ it seems to apply to all 13:16:27 ack pauljadam 13:17:31 pauljadam I have a focus order test case: as a keyboard user that focus is moved to controls. For screen reader and switch you focus on everything, but keyboard you just get interactive elements. Other assistive tech can be used to test 13:19:01 Important note: Switch ordering and keyboard ordering is different on Android 13:19:14 Switch allows for focus of containers and has an additional menu 13:19:30 q+ 13:19:32 ACTION: If keyboard interface is replaced with accessibility interface, emphasize the focus logic / differences between keyboard/web and app behavior 13:19:39 (and actions, don't forget the actions - hidden from keyboard users) 13:19:43 ack Detlev 13:20:24 Detlev to what extent do we take modifiers - they are quite common. Is there is a good way of securing focus order without modifiers? 13:21:00 TAB+X is the accessibility shortcut 13:21:09 I really dislike that 13:21:45 (or Z, but it's Tab as a modifier) 13:22:26 move to next agendum 13:22:26 agendum 2 -- 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) -- taken up [from JJ] 13:22:39 https://w3c.github.io/matf/#success-criterion-2-4-11-focus-not-obscured-minimum 13:22:44 https://github.com/w3c/matf/issues/52 13:23:20 Jamie has joined #matf 13:23:29 "entirely hidden" - that is suspiciously gracious 13:23:30 present+ 13:27:52 q+ 13:28:06 ack pauljadam 13:28:47 pauljadam I have a bad example in my ios ally techniques app. The bad modal allows keyboard focus to move behind, as well as sticky headers and footers 13:29:14 q+ 13:29:33 ack Jamie 13:29:48 Jamie Mostly curiosity - what is keeping use from voting on this? 13:31:18 Do we agree to vote on the proposal: https://github.com/w3c/matf/issues/52#issuecomment-2358554411 13:31:26 +1 13:31:35 In MATF's first draft of guidance, this SC's section will read as: 13:31:35 This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.11. 13:31:35 When a user interface component receives keyboard focus, the component is not entirely hidden due to author-created content. 13:31:35 Note 1 13:31:37 Where content in a configurable interface can be repositioned by the user, then only the initial positions of user-movable content are considered for testing and conformance of this Success Criterion. 13:31:37 Note 2 13:31:37 Content opened by the user may obscure the component receiving focus. If the user can reveal the focused component without advancing the keyboard focus, the component with focus is not considered hidden due to author-created content. 13:32:11 +1 13:32:15 +1 13:32:19 -1 13:32:22 +1 13:32:23 0 13:32:42 -1 We need a note saying there should be enough visible space to interact with the component? 13:32:48 Unless I am missing something 13:33:06 +1 13:33:29 +1 13:33:40 Like it needs to be interactable and perceivable, surely? 13:33:42 that comment is not in web, i don't think we should do it for mobile 13:34:38 q+ 13:34:52 ack Jamie 13:35:08 q+ 13:36:00 Jamie if folks have issue with the SC, perhaps it should go to the main wcag. How it relates to mobile, we could add notes, but this wouldn't be the same kind of note. We don't want it to come out as something different from the original wcag 13:36:24 Happy to go with the group on this 13:36:33 ack Joe_Humbert 13:36:58 Joe_Humbert I am worried for screen reader users, but this could significantly impact them on mobile more 13:37:40 I will aLSO GO WITH THE GROUP 13:37:54 sorry capslock issue 13:38:31 q+ 13:39:44 q+ what about switch control? 13:39:49 ack pauljadam 13:40:11 q+ rachaely to what about switch control? 13:40:27 pauljadam Maybe this doesn't apply to screen readers because they provide their own focus 13:40:37 Sorry pauljadam I hope I got that right 13:41:31 Yes and if the screen reader focus was on an element that was obscured and that element was a focusable element then the SC would apply, it just would not apply to static text being visible when focused with a screen reader. 13:41:34 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/focus-not-obscured-minimum.html 13:41:49 ack rachaely 13:41:49 rachaely, you wanted to what about switch control? 13:42:23 rachaely How does switch control factors in - it's not exactly the same] 13:42:33 Switch control does bring it's own focus 13:42:44 on iOS and Android anyway 13:43:35 On iOS if something is VoiceOver focusable, it would be focusable with full keyboard access and switch control, if switch control is on a focusable element then it cannot be fully obscured. 13:43:36 Android Hardware keyboard is the only one that doesn't bring it's own focus to the table 13:44:01 For now... I have an app! 13:44:42 sorry I don't mean static elements though 13:45:41 q+ 13:45:58 ack Joe_Humbert 13:46:01 q+ 13:46:32 q+ 13:46:35 ack pauljadam 13:46:37 Joe_Humbert My guess is that because this is wcag 2.2 it was written through a web lens. There may not have been a distinction between keyboard interface and keyboard 13:46:57 pauljadam they all apply, keyboard focusable elements should not be obscured 13:47:01 q- 13:48:49 9 of 12 voters... do we need more to close? 13:49:06 13, sorry 13:49:20 ACTION: Decide what modes of operation (assistive technologies) are part of "keyboard focus" 13:49:58 Yeah happy to invert from -1 to +1 13:50:40 Motion to draft 13:50:46 +1 13:51:04 +1 13:51:06 +1 13:52:31 move to next agendum 13:52:31 agendum 3 -- 1.3.1 Info and Relationships -- taken up [from JJ] 13:57:01 q+ 13:57:05 ack pauljadam 13:58:11 pauljadam ARIA landmarks exist on web, but can't do this on mobile. Apple never tells you what to do with it. How do we write success and failure techniques 14:00:17 quit 14:00:33 Aash has left #matf 14:30:15 Zakim, list participants 14:30:15 As of this point the attendees have been Joe_Humbert, quintinb, hdv, Megan_Pletzer, RacheleD, rachaely, Carol, Aash, pauljadam, Detlev, Jamie 14:30:20 rrsagent, make minutes 14:30:22 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/04/30-matf-minutes.html JJ 14:30:38 rrsagent, bye 14:30:38 I see 2 open action items saved in https://www.w3.org/2025/04/30-matf-actions.rdf : 14:30:38 ACTION: If keyboard interface is replaced with accessibility interface, emphasize the focus logic / differences between keyboard/web and app behavior [1] 14:30:38 recorded in https://www.w3.org/2025/04/30-matf-irc#T13-19-32 14:30:38 ACTION: Decide what modes of operation (assistive technologies) are part of "keyboard focus" [2] 14:30:38 recorded in https://www.w3.org/2025/04/30-matf-irc#T13-49-20 14:30:42 zakim, bye 14:30:42 leaving.
