Frequently asked questions
Why does tab order matter?
Keyboard and screen-reader users navigate in tab order, not visual position — if it doesn't match the visual flow, the interface becomes confusing or unusable without a mouse.
What's a visible focus style?
A clear visual indicator (outline, ring, or background change) showing which element currently has keyboard focus — required for any interface to be keyboard-navigable.
Do modals really need special handling?
Yes — without focus trapping, keyboard users can tab behind an open modal into content that shouldn't be reachable yet, which is a common accessibility bug.
