SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reconciles inconsistent UI behavior by establishing a centralized system for keyboard navigation, focus management, and reusable UI primitives within qol-tray, enabling developers to build accessible, predictable interfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified keyboard routing across App, List, and Modal levels to reduce focus loss and improve accessibility.
  • Reusable patterns for surfaces, modals, and editors (ModalPreact, CustomSelect, ToggleSwitch) to speed UI development and ensure consistency.
  • Scenarios include building new views, updating existing components, or onboarding new UI surfaces with a safe, tested interaction model.

Quick Start

Refactor a UI area (for example a modal or dropdown) to use the Surface-based components and the standardized keyboard navigation rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize keyboard navigation and focus management across UI components?

You can standardize keyboard navigation and focus management by adopting a centralized UI system that enforces app-level keyboard routing, surface patterns, and accessible focus invariants across all views and components.

What is the best way to build accessible modals and custom dropdowns without losing focus?

The best way to build accessible modals and dropdowns without focus loss is using reusable UI primitives like ModalPreact and CustomSelect that enforce consistent keyboard routing and focus invariants across App, List, and Modal levels.

How do I refactor an existing UI surface to use standardized interaction patterns?

Refactor an existing UI surface by migrating its modals or dropdowns to Surface-based components and applying standardized keyboard navigation rules, ensuring predictable interactions and accessible focus management.

Why does keyboard focus get lost when navigating between app views and modal layers?

Keyboard focus gets lost between app views and modal layers when there is no unified keyboard routing system managing focus invariants, which requires a centralized approach spanning App, List, and Modal levels to prevent.

Can I use reusable toggle switches and confirm buttons to ensure UI consistency?

Yes, you can use reusable UI building blocks like ToggleSwitch and ConfirmButton to enforce accessible frontend patterns, ensuring consistent interaction models and predictable focus management across your application.

When do I need a centralized UI system for keyboard routing and surface patterns?

You need a centralized UI system for keyboard routing and surface patterns when reconciling inconsistent UI behavior during new view development, component updates, or onboarding new UI surfaces that require accessible focus management.
