Hello, does anyone know of any locations that use a keyboard as the sole input device for the web based self check? Or of any users that rely on keyboard navigation for the self check even when a mouse or touch screen is available?
I ask because I submitted a fix for an issue that we were seeing, where users would accidentally press tab when entering barcodes in the self check, and not notice that the focus was no longer on the scan box, and then proceed to scan their barcode or items, not noticing that the first scan failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1560601 Part of the solution that we have been using is to effectively disable tab navigation, so it isn't possible to use tab to select other page elements. If there are users that rely on tab navigation then this may not be a general solution, or maybe needs to be easier to enable or disable. Or maybe there is another approach that detects 0-9 a-z key presses/input for any focus and always redirects those to the scan box? Maybe instead of a visible scanbox on the screen, one just pops up when any barcode like input is detected.
