Checkboxes
Let's start with checkboxes. Checkboxes are used to indicate selection of one or more answers to a question.
To navigate to the next checkbox, we press the x key. When you hear a choice you want to select, press enter or the space bar.
I bet you can guess how to navigate backwards through checkbox choices. Yep, shift + the x key.
Let's Practice
Below you will find several situations that could involve marking a checkbox. Try selecting 1 or 2 options from each question. Added extra challenge, each question is a heading level 4, so you can navigate between questions quickly using your knowledge of how to navigate among headings. Lastly, you can save your work by pressing the save button at the end.
Practice Sample Questions
Radio Buttons
A radio button is a common way for users to make a single selection from a list of options. Only one radio button can be selected at a time. If you have one radio button selected, but then choose to make a new selection, when you make the new selection, the other button will automatically be deselected.
Use the a key to navigate to the next radio button. Use shift + a to navigate to the previous radio button. Press enter to select a radio button.
