In this video, we take a look at a great aid to keyboard-only users. Keyboard only users benefit a lot from the ability to tab through elements with focus. This is using tabindex. Tabindex allows us to add keyboard focus to an element. There are certain elements which have this functionality by default such as form controls and links. But let us say that, for example, you want to add some instructions to your form. Let us say we use a paragraph element to write out some instructions for our users. That paragraph element will not have keyboard focus by default, so our keyboard-only users will tab and simply get to the form, but the paragraph will never receive focus, and therefore would make the instructions inaccessible to our keyboard-only users. Therefore, when designing such steps in your site, it is important to consider and apply correct accessibility functionality so a wide audience may utilize your site. Tabindex allows us to do this. Using tabindex will allow you to focus on important sections of your web site.
