Keyboard Shortcuts

• Keyboard shortcuts: Do actions that should have keyboard shortcuts already have them assigned?

• Use tabindex to modify whether or not something should be tabable.

• "It should be visually apparent which page element has the current focus"

• Skip links enable keyboard only users to skip over certain sections of a website

Focus Control

• document.activeElement selects the currently focused element

Screen Readers

• Writing good alt-text: be accurate, be succinct, don't be redundant, don't use "image of" or "graphic of"

• Always label form elements, even if they're visually hidden or done so with aria-labelledby
