Re: CFC - Changes to "Character Key Shortcuts"

Hi Kim

I think what that last phrase is trying to address, is first letter
navigation. Focus goes to a drop down to choose your state. When the drop
down opens the user can hit the first letter to skip over lots of states.

But the first letter navigation is only active when the combo has focus,
the rest of the time it is inactive. This is native behaviour of the HTML
UI  https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select

It could be a lot of effort to force devs to over ride that behaviour.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
