Navigating dropdown menu with keyboard
A dropdown menu that can be operated using the keyboard is especially important for people who have difficulty using a mouse due to physical limitations or other disabilities.
To enable this feature, go to your website editor:
Click on the gear icon in the top left corner.
Expand the additional options under "Website Settings."
Select the last tab, "Accessibility."
Enable the option "Activate focus indicator."
By selecting this option, you activate the accessibility settings for your website.
Now, to navigate a dropdown menu using the keyboard, users can simply use the Tab key to move through the menu items. Once they reach the desired item, they can open the menu by pressing the Enter key or the Space bar and navigate through the options using the arrow keys. This allows them to use the menu entirely without a mouse.
