Keyboard Navigation
Reverb 2.0 provides comprehensive keyboard navigation to support users who cannot use a mouse. All interactive elements are reachable via keyboard, and several shortcuts are available for efficient navigation.
Keyboard Shortcuts Reference
Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Alt+N | Navigate to next topic |
Alt+P | Navigate to previous topic |
Alt+Home | Navigate to home page |
F6 | Cycle focus between major page regions |
Arrow Keys | Navigate between tabs in tab interfaces |
Tab | Move focus to next interactive element |
Shift+Tab | Move focus to previous interactive element |
Enter or Space | Activate focused button or link |
Escape | Close lightbox or modal dialog |
Note: Keyboard shortcuts use the Alt key on Windows. On macOS, use the Option key instead.
Focus Management
Reverb 2.0 implements proper focus management to ensure keyboard users always know where they are on the page:
When a lightbox opens, focus moves to the lightbox content
When a lightbox closes, focus returns to the element that triggered it
Search results automatically receive focus when they appear
The skip-to-content link provides a way to bypass repeated navigation elements
