Summary
This Success Criterion is about making sure devices with touch-screen can interpret and understand a user’s actions. Gestures or movements, like pinching or swiping, mustn’t be the only way to do something. There should also be other simple ways to complete actions, like buttons or links.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: Drop the bass, let me tell you ‘bout two point five point six Where your input methods never have to be fixed Touch the screen, grab a mouse, or type away Web content shouldn’t block your preferred way Some need keyboards, others love to swipe Everyone deserves to use their input type Don’t lock me down to just one interface Let me switch it up at my own pace
CHORUS: Switch the input, switch the input (WUB WUB) Freedom to choose how we compute it Keyboard, touchscreen, stylus too Two point five point six says it’s up to you Switch the input, switch the input (DROP) Don’t restrict unless you really need to stop it
VERSE 2: Your smartphone’s touch but plug that keyboard in External mouse should work, let the freedom begin Unless it’s essential like a typing class Where keyboards matter for the skills to pass Security reasons might apply the lock But most times let all input methods rock JavaScript sees KeyCode and touch events too Concurrent mechanisms coming through
CHORUS: Switch the input, switch the input (WUB WUB) Freedom to choose how we compute it Keyboard, touchscreen, stylus too Two point five point six says it’s up to you Switch the input, switch the input (DROP) Don’t restrict unless you really need to stop it
BRIDGE/OUTRO:** Touch-only fails the test (BASS DROP) Give users what works best Switch between them anytime Accessibility by design Two point five point six reminds us all Input freedom breaks down walls
