Description Kathryn Tyree 2020-10-24 01:32:32 UTC
The order of page elements could be improved to enhance the user experience for any user that does not use a mouse and instead tabs through, e.g. screen-reader users or those who prefer to only use the keyboard.

To reproduce:
When on the staff interface home page, try tabbing through the page elements. Notice the order you go through the elements. (I will open other bugs to address the highlighting of elements, and labels). Currently the first tab goes to the submit button, then back to the check out tab under the search box, then through everything in the left hand column.

Suggested order: the next elements to tab across after submit and Check out are the Checkin, Renew, Search Patrons, Search the catalog (all the items across the tabs under the search box), then to the top News block (in case libraries use this for urgent announcements?), back to the modules, then on to the other things down the left hand navigation.

Open to other input on the order or things.
