Official methodology to test criterion 12.10

Test 1 (12.10.1)

  1. Find in the document all the keyboard shortcuts available to the user
  2. For each keyboard shortcut, check that
    • either a mechanism is available to deactivate the keyboard shortcut;
    • or a mechanism is available for configuring the keyboard shortcut using the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc.);
    • or, in the case of a user interface component, the associated keyboard shortcut can only be activated if the keyboard focus is on this component.
  3. If this is the case for each keyboard shortcut, the test is validated.
