Re: Should we add keyboard focus to headings/text/non-linked images?

Hi Katherine,

No, it is a common assumption, but the key word in the following is “functionality”:

That means links & form controls need to be operable. Adding non-functional items to the tab order simply adds time and difficulty in getting through a page. This can lead to some odd visuals if links are spread out, but there are other controls (arrows and space on a typical keyboard) for scrolling the view.

HTH,
