It’s important to make buttons, links and controls large enough for people with motor impairments to use them.

But this also helps people
- who are blind and visually impaired
- who are elderly
- who have lost or misplaced their glasses
- using a phone or tablet screen

Many disabled people use a keyboard to navigate through websites. It's an essential part of web #accessibility.

Especially for those who rely on assistive technologies like a screen reader.

But if you've ever had RSI, a broken arm (or your mouse or trackpad has stopped working)... you'll know how important keyboard-only navigation is.

Web accessibility affects everyone at some point in their lives. https://bighack.org/6-web-accessibility-features-that-benefit-more-people-than-you-think-global-accessibility-awareness-day/
