Description Mark Macdonald

2013-06-07 12:34:10 EDT

There are at least 4 places in the codebase that have evolved separate keyboard-selection handling mechanisms:

1. navHandler (common code shared among file explorers, most selectable lists, etc)
2. Key assist panel
3. OpenResourceDialog.js (the Find Files dialog)
4. Content assist popup in the editor

It looks like #2 and #4 are properly annotated for accessibility with ARIA attributes, and #1 has partial support.

Maybe we can refactor these to use a common keyboard focus management mixin that is consumed by all 4 clients. Then we only have to get the key event handling, and ARIA stuff (managing the aria-activedescendant, etc) correct once.
