Name: Mark Rogers Email: mark.rogers@powermapper.com Affiliation: Powermapper Softwate Document: TD Item Number: H69 Part of Item: Applicability Comment Type: technical Summary of Issue: UA support for this technique seems to be non-existent Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): Hi I was doing some research on this technique and the UA notes: http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/Techniques/ua-notes/html#H69 Opera hasn't supported keyboard heading navigation since switching from Presto to Blink in July 2013 http://forums.opera.com/discussion/1834402/navigation-over-links/p1 The Vimium extension they mention as a replacement doesn't appear to support heading navigation either The currently documented Opera keyboard shortcuts now look identical to other browsers: http://help.opera.com/opera/Windows/1387/en/fasterBrowsing.html#keyboard The Firefox landmark extension from TPG has been mentioned as an alternative, but this doesn't support heading navigation either. I've checked both the source code and and installed on a clean VM https://github.com/matatk/landmarks The other alternatives mentioned in the H69 UA notes either no longer work on current browsers or don't have working download links. Conclusion: there's no longer UA support for this technique Best Regards Mark Proposed Change: Given there appears to be no current UA support for this technique for keyboard users, should it be retired? If someone does find UA support for it, then the UA notes should be updated accordingly.
