Keyboard Navigation & Accessibility Improvements

Problem

Keyboard-first users are forced to use the mouse for:

  • No keyboard shortcuts for lesson navigation
  • Outline drawer not keyboard-accessible
  • No Esc to close modals/drawers
  • Minimal editor shortcuts
  • No shortcuts documentation

This breaks flow and slows learning.

Accessibility Gaps (WCAG 2.1)

  • ❌ 2.1.1 Keyboard (A): Not all actions keyboard-accessible
  • ❌ 2.4.7 Focus Visible (AA): Weak/inconsistent focus styles
  • ⚠️ 2.4.3 Focus Order (A): Tab order not logical

Proposed Solution

Core Shortcuts

Shortcut Action Scope
Ctrl/Cmd + → Next lesson Global
Ctrl/Cmd + ← Previous lesson Global
Ctrl/Cmd + K Toggle outline Global
Esc Close modal/drawer Context
? Show shortcuts help Global
Shift + Enter Validate code Editor
Ctrl/Cmd + Enter Validate + next Editor
Ctrl/Cmd + R Reset code Editor
