Make focus on map more visible when using keyboard nav
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

Background

Currently it's possible to use keyboard nav to move around a map (arrow keys) and zoom ( /-) but it's very hard to tell when the map is in focus. We would like to make this more visible.

Requirements

  • Add new focus outline within the map, visible when map itself is in focus after user tabs to it

Specs

~ See figma for specifications

Note:

We agree to the limitation, that auto-resize does not work when reducing the height.

@ECohen_WMDE It seems that the map is always focused when opening the fullscreen mode. It's nice to have the keyboard interactions of course, but this means that the blue box is always drawn which seems less nice. Thoughts?

I don't think it should be visible until the user clicks tab to indicate that they are in keyboard navigation mode. When I click tab currently, the first thing in the tab order is the full screen map. This is when it should be visible, but not before. Is that possible?

The current version of the patch that will be merged does exactly that. So nothing to worry about I would say.

Lets discuss during sprint review if we also want to remove the frame when the user starts zooming with the mouse wheel. Could be added later then.
