Actual Behavior
On the Sketches/Collection page, while the headers Date Created and Date Updated are reachable using the Tab key, the actual date values for each sketch row are not focusable via keyboard navigation. This creates an accessibility barrier:
Keyboard users cannot tab to read the individual sketch date values.
The date fields are properly read by screen readers only when hovered or selected indirectly but not through keyboard focus.
These fields also lack a visible focus ring, making it harder for users who rely on visual indicators for navigation.
Expected Behavior
- Each sketch’s Date Created and Date Updated field should be reachable via keyboard (tabindex="0" or rendered as focusable elements) in both Section (Sketches & Collection).
- These fields should include visible focus indicators.
- Proper ARIA labels or semantic elements should be added for screen reader clarity.
Steps to reproduce
Steps:
- Open the "Sketches" or "Collection" page.
- Use the Tab key to navigate through the sketch list.
- Notice that while the sketch name and dropdown arrow are focusable, the Date Created and Date Updated values are not.
@karanBRAVO You’re welcome to work on this, but I’m currently waiting for input from the maintainers, especially @raclim, since this issue might be addressed as part of the proposed GSoC project. So it could potentially be on hold for now.
