Our team in Mexico just started doing structured keyboard-only testing as part of our accessibility regression suite. We’re covering the obvious stuff — Tab order, Enter/Space on buttons, Escape to close modals.

But I keep feeling like we’re missing things. Would love to crowdsource a more complete checklist from people who do this regularly.

Here’s what we currently check:

• All interactive elements reachable via Tab / Shift+Tab
• Visible focus indicator present at all times
• Forms submittable without a mouse
• Modals trap focus correctly and return focus on close
• Skip navigation link present and functional
• Dropdowns operable with arrow keys

What are we missing?

Particularly interested in edge cases around:

• Single page app routing — focus management when the “page” changes
• Custom components like date pickers and data tables
• Toast/notification interactions
