RE: Metrics for tracking keyboard users on a site

> Does anyone have information for tracking metrics on how many keyboard users use your site across multiple browsers?

I’m not entirely sure what you would be measuring, it is rather mushy.

For example:

  *   Someone using a screenreader is using a keyboard, but probably won’t trigger keyboard events unless they fill in a form.
  *   Someone using voice input might trigger keyboard events, but isn’t a keyboard user per-se.
  *   Someone using a browser on a desktop may use a keyboard there but not on another browser on a mobile device.

What is the aim behind the question?


> We use Google Analytics... Chrome works fine but Safari and Firefox don’t.

Works fine for what? The tracking you are asking about, or tracking in general?
(Noting that I use Firefox with content blocking, GA doesn’t load on my browser.)

As others have noted there are potential privacy concerns, but it would help to understand the aim first.

Kind regards,
