Re: [csswg-drafts] Please add "tab-index" to CSS specification

> complex-selector only for "up, left, right, down". For nav-index/tab-index there are no complex-selector. It is equivalent of HTML tabindex attribute with additional "none" (non-focusable). Thus Shift+tab is no problem.

I don't get your reason why you are against a selector for the `nav-index` property.

> nav-order - is it needed if tab-index/nav-index (and tab-index-group) will be implemented? How should work "Visual" for fixed positioned elements? If it will be implemented, the one medium shall be "screen/tv".

Yes, `nav-order` is independent of `nav-index`, please see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1764#issuecomment-327096527.

I never used a screen reader. So, I am wondering how they read a page. Do they read the whole page at once? And if so, do they consider the `tabindex` attribute set on elements, i.e. do they read text of focusable elements in navigation order or in DOM order? Or do they just read the text of the currently focused element, meaning they implicitly follow the navigation order?
