I’ve been working hard on our new component implementation (Vue/TS) to include accessibility for components that aren’t just native reskins, like combo and list boxes, and keyboard interactivity is a real pain. One of my engineers had it half-working on her dropdown and threw in the towel for MVP because there’s a lot of little state edge cases to watch out for.

Thankfully the spec as provided by MDN for minimal functionality is well spelled out and our company values meeting accessibility requirements, so we will revisit and flesh out what we’re missing.

Also I wanna give props (ha) to the Storybook team for bringing accessibility testing into their ecosystem as it really does help to have something checking against our implementations.
