Accessibility guidelines

To ensure that toolbars are accessible and helpful, follow these guidelines:

  • Use inputs sparingly: Left and right arrow keys are used to both move the text insertion cursor in an input, and to navigate among controls in horizontal toolbars. When using an input in a horizontal toolbar, use only one and place it as the last element of the toolbar.
