Keyboard support, screen readers, focus management and reduced motion.
Qikbar follows the WAI-ARIA combobox with listbox popup pattern:
- The search input has
role="combobox",aria-expanded,aria-controlsandaria-activedescendant, which point at the selected option. - Results are a
role="listbox"withrole="option"rows andaria-selected. Section headings are presentational. - The modal is a
role="dialog"witharia-modal="true"and a label. - The action panel and confirmation dialogs have their own dialog roles and keyboard handling.
- Toasts are announced through
aria-live="polite"regions.
Focus
- Opening the bar saves the focused element. Closing it restores focus.
- While the modal is open, focus is trapped inside it.
- Inline mode never steals focus on load.
Keyboard
Everything works without a mouse. See Keyboard. Letter shortcuts use physical keys, so they work on any keyboard layout.
Motion
With prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, all animations are disabled, and the loading indicator moves more slowly.
Color
The default themes meet WCAG AA contrast for body text. If you customize colors, check the contrast of fg, fgMuted and selection against bg.
