Hello Shadi and all, This new approach is interesting. I have started testing the example you have linked. I don't understand for now how all works as it seems to be conflicts between the use of shortcuts in this specific case, the shortcuts used in Firefox and the shortcuts that work with the assistive technology I use. As you said, it is another way of using shortcuts that some users may not know. But if it happens to work, it could be useful to explain somewhere how to use the expandable menu and the shortcuts in it. I will test this more with one colleague and tell you soon what we found.
