This was discussed at the recent sprint in Dallas. Here is a copy of an
email that Mirco sent out about what shortcuts could possibly be used,
as determined at the meeting:
Greetings everybody!
Here's my initial brain-dump of the key-mapping that should be used for
launcher- and quicklist-navigation. I don't know about typical
a11y-principles for such things so bear with me, should I have
overlooked something obvious. This is meant as a base for the discussion
we (Alejandro, Neil, Luke, Jay, Jason, myself) need to have this
afternoon.
launcher key-mapping
* CursorUp: move selection up
* CursorDown: move selection down
* CursorLeft/ESC: close a quicklist, if open
* CursorRight: open quicklist
* Return/Space: start selected app (or switch focus to it, if
open)
* ????: set keyboard-focus to launcher
* questions (needs feedback from design-team):
* how - apart from the showing of the tooltip - should the
currently focused launcher-icon be represented?
* how does the Super/Meta-key shortcut conflict with this
a11y keyboard-navigation?
quicklist key-mapping
* CursorUp: move selection up
* CursorDown: move selection down
* CursorLeft/ESC: close quicklist
* CursortRight: open quicklist
* Return/Space: activate selected item
This is meant as a base for the discussion we need to have this
afternoon.
Since no keyboard shortcut was decided for getting to the launcher and
focusing keyboard navigation, I think Alt F1 is appropriate, since the
launcher is used to launch apps etc. If a shortcut to the dash to access
apps etc is under consideration, then possibly super + a would be
appropriate for that.
