Firefox uses left/right arrow key for seeking and up/down arrow key combination for volume control. I particularly like the way firefox handles the focus thing ie: treat the whole set of controls as one focusable element and use keys plus modifiers to use the controls. > An alternative approach would be to make each individual subcontrol focusable > - the play/pause button, the seek slider, and the volume slider, plus > potentially other controls for video. Opera browser does exactly this. Individual controls are focused. Only drawback I feel is if a user's tab stop is not a video element, then he has tab through all the controls before reaching the next element after media. Also with growing number of controls in future like fast forward, rewind etc.. this might pose a usability problem. >> An alternative approach would be to make each individual subcontrol >> focusable - the play/pause button, the seek slider, and the volume slider, >> plus potentially other controls for video. > > What would script see as focused if we allow subcontrols be focusable? Since controls are part of shadow DOM, scripts wont be able to see that. In this case then they would probably end up with respective media element. -Deepak Sherveghar On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 10:27 PM, Ryosuke Niwa <rn...@webkit.org> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 7:30 AM, Dominic Mazzoni <dmazz...@google.com> > wrote: >> >> An alternative approach would be to make each individual subcontrol >> focusable - the play/pause button, the seek slider, and the volume slider, >> plus potentially other controls for video. > > What would script see as focused if we allow subcontrols be focusable? > - Ryosuke > _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
