Modals

About this task

The Cúram application uses modal dialogs to enable users to execute an action (e.g. New, Edit and Delete) for a given Application Tab. As focus is not given to these modals automatically when using a screen reader, users must perform a specific keyboard sequence to give focus to the opened modal:

Procedure

  1. When the user opens a modal, the screen reader announces the modal and reads out the its title.
  2. Press SHIFT + M to bring focus to the modal.
  3. Navigate through the modal as normal using TAB or ARROW keys.
  4. If at any point focus is lost from the modal, Press SHIFT + M to return focus to the modal.
