RE: question about aria-keyshortcuts

The intent is focusable only.

Where the spec says:
> Indicates keyboard shortcuts that an author has implemented to activate or
give focus to an element.

It would probably be more clear if it said "the element" instead of "an
element". But, it means that you put aria-keyshortcuts on the element that
will get activated or focused. You can only activate or focus an element if
it is focusable.

Compare this to the definition of other properties that use the term "an
element". For example, haspopup:

> Indicates the availability and type of interactive popup element, such as
menu or dialog, 
> that can be triggered by an element.

Subject: question about aria-keyshortcuts

Hi,
Is aria-keyshortcuts supposed to only be used on focusable elements, or on
any element? The spec is not clear on this.

Also, if it is acceptable on non-focusable elements, how is this to be
conveyed to AT users?

Thanks,
Bryan
