(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Chang [:lchang] (inactive)]

There may be no touch events on Stingray so we may support spatial navigation to let users can interact with a hardware keyboard (or a remote controller).

Attachment: Enable snav for every iframe in b2g

Hi SC,

As we discussed before, I put a patch for enabling snav for every iframe in b2g.
However, this patch should be totally wrong. There must be a better way to do this.

One more question I would like to add here:
When it comes to the use case for browser, spatial navigation as highlight mode might not be enough.
There's another mode using D-pad to control the cursor just like mouse. (let's call it cursor mode)
I wonder if you have plan to contribute also the cursor mode?

The use of DPAD is critical.  
This requirement MUST BE DONE.

4.8 Screen reader navigation
Screen reader shall provide the user the means to easily traverse the User Interface (UI) one UI object at a time with the ability to navigate the previous, current and next UI Object at their own pace.
