Accessible focus flow

Keyboard users should always know where they are. Pair clear headings with visible focus states and predictable navigation targets, especially around sidebars and command palettes.

Practical steps

• Use a skip link for your main content.
• Keep interactive elements in a logical order.
• Ensure focus styles pass contrast requirements.
• Review focus order after adding sticky headers.

Check yourself

1. Tab through every page without a mouse.
2. Confirm headings describe the section.
3. Verify that focus rings are visible on light and dark backgrounds.
