Aria-practices: Bugs in example: listbox/listbox-rearrangeable.html (multiselect keyboard interactions)

[spectranaut]

In chrome on linux, the following key commands do not work in the second example implementation on the example page listbox/listbox-rearrangeable.html:

• Shift + Down Arrow
  
  
  
  • Instead, the behavior is the same as down arrow
  
  
• Shift + Up Arrow
  
  
  
  • Instead, the behavior is the same as up arrow
  
  
• Control + Shift + Home
  
  
  
  • Instead, the behavior is the same as home
  
  
• Control + Shift + End
  
  
  
  • Instead, the behavior is the same as end
  
  
• Control + A
  
  
  
  • Instead, all of the text on the web page is selected

(I can't get these keys to work in FF on Mac either)

I also had this issue recently with IE and Chrome on Windows 10, as well as Safari.

Sorry, I could not get to updating this issue till now.
Thanks Mark for updating it for me.

All - Chris Mills over at MDN says this isn't an issue on MacOS any longer. I'll check into it myself, but might be worth others checking too.

The key commands issues still exist when I checked with Chrome on MacOS. I am assigning this bug to @jongund and @smhigley @sh0ji in case they can review and fix the problem. @jongund and @smhigley @sh0ji please feel free to unassign the issue to yourself if you are not available. ;-)

Does this work in any browser? I don't see any code to handle it, so I'd be a bit surprised if it did 😄.

@smhigley it appears to work without fault in Firefox on Windows. 🤷‍♂

On my computer they do not work in Chrome and Firefox under Windows. But these access keys are only marked as optional.

And so the plot thickens - good to know, thanks for that!

[smhigley]

@charmarkk you're talking about the shift + arrows/home/end and control + A, right? That doesn't work for me in any browser in Windows, including Firefox (which is my main browser) 😄.

I think the plot actually thins -- there is no script to implement those keys, so they don't work anywhere 😂

FF 73.0.1 and Chrome 80.0.3987.116 on Windows 10, Example 2 does not work as advertised in the Multiple selection keys supported in example 2 table (except for space key).

@smhigley @carmacleod you're correct - my poor brain this Monday morning. Those keys indeed do not work as written. Thank you~

[smhigley]

I'm working on an implementation now 👍
