| So, it use to be that one could tab from the top of the page, change the search
category with the keyboard, type in a term, and press enter. That was really
useful. It doesn't work any more.
So my suggestion is to put that back.
The key sequence was something like Alt-D (to get to the address bar) TAB, TAB,
TAB, a letter, such as C for catalog, then TAB, then enter a search term, then
press enter.
Instead, I now have to pull down the drop-down and choose a category. It takes
*forever*.
I realize I am in the minority, most people navigate with the mouse. For me,
it feels like every time you make me touch the mouse, a fairy dies. Just saying.

Yes, modernizing the design should not mean ditching accessibility.

I agree -good form design should include the ability to tab between input fields
and to eithet type entries or select from drop down list with the keyboard.
These used to be standard requirements for AAA/AA accessibility standards testing
on websites
