10.4 On each screen, are keyboard shortcuts using only one key (upper or lower case letter, punctuation, number or symbol) controllable by the user?
- WCAG references
- 2.1.4 Character key shortcuts (A)
Official methodology to test criterion 10.4
Test 1 (10.4)
iOS and Android
- Connect an external keyboard (and configure keyboard navigation).
- From the application, successively press each of the printable character keys (lowercase letters a-z, uppercase letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, all symbols such as $, *, %, ! etc. as long as they can be written on the screen).
- If the keyboard shortcut is associated with a single component isolated from the screen, check that it can only be activated if the keyboard focus is inside that component.
- Otherwise, if an action is triggered, check that there is a configuration menu in the application which allows you to
- disable these one-touch keyboard shortcuts;
- configure these keyboard shortcuts by adding a modifier key (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc.).
- If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
