Accessibility · attention, focus
Updated 2026-07-28
- Focus tells users where they are.
- Move focus intentionally when:
- A modal opens.
- A page changes.
- A new error appears.
- Return focus when:
- A modal closes.
- A menu disappears.
- Avoid unexpected movement:
- Do not steal focus.
- Do not jump users around.
- Good focus management creates invisible guidance.
