What problem does it solve?

Keyboard navigation and focus management are essential to make interfaces usable for people who cannot or prefer not to use a mouse. This section outlines the principles and patterns required to build inclusive UI.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ensure every interactive element is focusable via Tab and follows the visual reading order.
• Provide visible focus indicators and consistent focus styles across components (menus, tabs, modals, forms, and drag-and-drop).
• Implement modal focus traps, restore focus on close, and include skip links for quick access to main content.
• Apply to forms, menus, dialogs, carousels, and custom components to support keyboard users and assistive technologies.

Quick Start

Audit a UI prototype to verify keyboard focusability, implement focus management across modals, forms, and menus, and ensure visible focus indicators.
