Overview

This skill automates testing and guidance for keyboard navigation in frontend applications. I provide step-by-step instructions, generate production-ready test code and configurations, and validate results against accessibility and interaction standards. It is optimized for React, Vue, and plain HTML/CSS projects and integrates into common test workflows. Use it to speed up accessibility checks and ensure consistent keyboard behavior across components.

How this skill works

I inspect component markup, focus order, ARIA attributes, and keyboard event handlers to detect common navigation problems. I can generate automated tests (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Jest + Testing Library) that simulate tab, shift+tab, arrow keys, and activation keys. I validate outputs against keyboard-focus best practices and report concrete remediation steps. When provided with project files or code snippets, I produce tailored test cases and configuration snippets.

When to use it

  • When writing or running frontend tests that must verify keyboard-only navigation
  • When auditing components for accessibility regressions or keyboard focus issues
  • When implementing or reviewing custom keyboard handlers and focus management
  • When integrating keyboard navigation tests into CI pipelines
  • When you need generated test code for React, Vue, or vanilla DOM

Best practices

  • Prefer native focus order and semantics before adding complex JS focus management
  • Test both forward (Tab) and backward (Shift+Tab) focus flows across dialogs and menus
  • Use role, tabindex, and ARIA attributes correctly; avoid tabindex>0 except for specific cases
  • Automate tests to run in CI and include screen-reader compatible labels where appropriate
  • Validate tests on multiple browsers and include desktop and keyboard-only user scenarios

Example use cases

  • Generate Playwright tests to verify tab order through a multi-step form and modal
  • Create Jest + Testing Library cases for keyboard activation of custom listbox or menu components
  • Audit a React component library for missing focus outlines, unreachable controls, or trap focus failures
  • Produce Cypress scripts that simulate arrow-key navigation in a virtualized grid
  • Provide remediation steps and code fixes when tests find tabindex or focus-skip issues

FAQ

What testing frameworks do you support?

I generate examples for Playwright, Cypress, and Jest with Testing Library; snippets can be adapted to other frameworks.

Can you test dynamic focus traps like modals and popovers?

Yes — I produce focused test scenarios that assert trap activation, keyboard escape behavior, and restoration of focus on close.

Do you enforce any accessibility standard?

I validate against common keyboard and focus best practices and recommend patterns aligned with WCAG for keyboard operability.
