I'm working on a Storyline project for North Carolina's Council on the Holocaust that will let users view the stories of Holocaust survivors who relocated to NC. I'm working on a slide that shows a state map and has markers on cities the survivors relocated to and have a state set up so that when the user hovers over the marker it changes color and displays the city's name in the lower left corner. Is there a way to create that same interaction for when the marker comes into focus for people who use keyboard navigation?
No worries. It's easy to conflate the two with the considerable overlap they have. I do have the alt text on there, so people using screen readers and keyboard navigation are covered, but I can't figure out how to make it work for those who can see but have fine motor disabilities.

I assume that if the marker is interactive (outside of the hover) you can put alt-text on the marker and describe it that way.
I misread this. Was thinking about the screen reader. :)

I'd probably ditch the hover state and make them click-based
