Re: Technique G187 should be retired

Detlev,
Can you provide a pointer to the discussion on twitter?

The technique has a test procedure, and if the browsers fail the test procedure then people can’t rely on that technique. Note also that the technique does not require hitting Esc to work - a browser preference or extension would be ok also.

Thanks,
AWK
