IJPL-175712 Accessibility UI guidelines #1505
Conversation

| The basic way to interact with the UI by using the keyboard is to switch focus between components with <shortcut>Tab</shortcut> and <shortcut>Shift+Tab</shortcut>. | ||
| For some components, arrow keys can also be used to navigate between items. | ||
| Once a component is focused, it can be activated by pressing <shortcut>Space</shortcut>. |

also add info on how focused components should look like (e.g. get highlighted with the blue stroke)

I can now add some basic info (1-2 sentences) that focused components need to have a focus indicator. And then later you can expand it with an illustration and add more info if needed. I wrote about this part here: UX-3531. Does that sound good?

Since the article is mainly focused on iplementation details, maybe it makes sense to move it for example to the Base Platform section?

Good idea. I think I can extract the Assistive technology support section into an article here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/user-interface-components.html. And we can keep things about keyboard accessibility in UI guidelines and also later add the information about colors here. Both articles will have links to each other. What do you think?
