This No Mouse activity simulates what it is like to navigate the web with a physical disability where users cannot operate computer's mouse. This activity directly tests for the second principle of operability under the WCAG2.1 and is an easy check for web accessibility:
- Use a web browser to navigate to your company or school web site (or another site you use regularly)
- Do not use a mouse to navigate the site, only use the keyboard shortcuts below:
- Press Tab to move to the next link, form element or button.
- Press Shift + Tab to move to the previous link, form element, or button.
- Press Enter or space bar to activate the current link or button.
- Use arrow keys, Escape, or other keys if doing so would seem to make sense.
