Keyboard accessibility - web interface

See original GitHub issue

Description


https://beta.meet.jit.si/

image

On the web version.

Current behavior


The div element to create a room is not keyboard accessible.

<div class="welcome-page-button" id="enter_room_button">Créer</div>

Expected Behavior


Creating a room should be keyboard accessible.

Possible Solution


Use a button element or role=“button” and tabindex=“0” on the div + add keyboard support (a button is supposed to work with Space or Enter).

Priority


As it’s possible to create a room while hitting Enter in the form (which I did not know) maybe it’s less urgent than the other issues concerning accessibility.
