Arrow Keys on Product Image Popup

[eldon99]

On the demo, when I click on the product image popup, it seems like I cannot use the arrow keys to scroll through until I click on the arrow the first time. Thoughts?

They way the carousel works, you would use the TAB key to focus the first available item, in this case the right arrow. At that point, you can use the arrow keys to scroll though the items. As part of my accessibility testing and updating, I will see if there is anything more that can be done with this.

Thanks Matt!

Was a fix ever found for this? We would also prefer to have the arrow keys initially usable on Colossus' product image carousel lightbox, without the need for a (less intuitive) tab key input.

Nothing more at this time. An updated version of Colossus should be released later this year. At that time, I will be able to address this enhancement further in order to balance user expectations and inclusiveness.

Roger that; thanks for the reply!
