I have to ask, because apparently a lot of people don’t use the keyboard to navigate websites at all.

I have to ask, because apparently a lot of people don’t use the keyboard to navigate websites at all. I do it all the time.

@yatil I didn’t use keyboard navigation for years. No one even taught me it was an option: a mouse is what you had and you would use it, dang it.
Learning more about accessibility prompted me to use the keyboard more, and that it can actually be very nice even when you’re used to a mouse.
But I definitely have room for improvement here.

@mahryekuh I don’t know if there’s anything to improve there. It’s more about preference. I have hours where I almost never use my trackpad, and hours where I use it exclusively. And then instances where I switch from one input to another depending on what feels right in that situation.

@yatil Agreed on your reply.
My improvement is in becoming more comfortable with keyboard navigation.
It took me a while to figure out that you can use the spacebar to activate links or toggle form inputs. Now that I know it, I use it often (especially when the cat occupies my mouse arm).
It's a skill I would actively have to learn and become better at.
