[Resolved] accessibility of slide-out menu (when activated by itself)

[Jennifer]

Hi,

I want to ensure keyboard-only accessibility for the site I’m building. I want to use only the slide-out menu for both desktop and mobile. However, keyboard tabbing loses focus once the menu opens – it tabs through the underlying page and I can’t access the menu or close it (with keyboard only). However, the mobile version of the regular nav is indeed keyboard accessible. Any advice for keyboard-only access to slide-out navigation?

Hi there,

We actually fixed this in GPP 1.7. Can you make sure you’re using the latest version?

Once the slideout opens, the focus is applied to the first menu item within it.

Let me know 🙂
