Overview
Keyboard navigation lets users move through the store with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and Space. The theme supports focus management and skip links.
Tab navigation behavior
- Tab: Move focus forward through links, buttons, form fields.
- Shift+Tab: Move focus backward.
- Enter / Space: Activate links and buttons.
- Escape: Close modals (e.g. cart drawer, quick view, search).
Skip link
The theme includes a skip link that appears when Tab is first pressed. It lets keyboard users jump to main content and skip repeated navigation.
Focus management
- Modals (cart drawer, quick view, search) trap focus while open.
- Closing a modal returns focus to the element that opened it.
- Visible focus indicators show the current element (outline/highlight).
Testing
- Use Tab to move through the page.
- Ensure all interactive elements are reachable.
- Check that modals can be closed with Escape.
- Verify focus returns correctly when modals close.
- Use a screen reader if available for fuller testing.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Elements not focusable |
Ensure links and buttons use <a> or
<button>.
|
| No visible focus | Don’t remove :focus styles in Custom CSS. |
| Modal can’t be closed | Ensure Escape closes modals; check for script errors. |
| Skip link missing | Theme includes it; if removed in customizations, restore it. |
