Tab navigation and shapes with triggers

Sep 14, 2021

I suspect this question has been asked and answered before but I could not find any reference.

I sometimes use shapes with triggers to mimic buttons but when I was testing keyboard only navigation (tab key) the shape was skipped. If I have buttons on the page they are identified as interactive objects and the tabbing works as expected. Is there a way of identifying shapes with triggers as interactive objects and have them included in the keyboard tabbing process?

Thanks,
Jen

Hi, Jennifer.

Thank you for reaching out!

As long as a trigger is associated with the shape, it should be accessible with the tab key. 

If that's not the case, would you mind sharing your .story file either here or privately through a support case so we can see what's happening in your project?
