Keyboard navigation support for the current flatpickr in Koha is a big fail. Focus doesn't work properly. You have to somehow figure out that you enter the calendar with the up or down arrow. Then you can only navigate day by day or week by week with the arrow keys. You can't tab to the month or year controls. If you manage to tab to the Yesterday Today and Tomorrow buttons, they don't even work and you have to hit esc to exit. If you enter the an input with an existing date, and without opening the calendar, if you just want to edit a month, date or year, when you hit backspace it removes the whole date. It's full of pitfalls. The standard input with type date is really intuitive for keyboard users. The only thing the flatpickr seems to offer is the ability to paste a date. The standard date input. The standard date picker is not really compatible with pasting, unless you make a compromise and have a text input with a hidden date input. You could have a calendar icon next to the text input that calls the showPicker() function on the date input. Then you would have a little js to keep those fields in sync. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
