Enable Keyboard Access in Framer
- Open your project in Framer and navigate to the page you want to check.
- Enter Preview mode and press Tab once to see which element receives focus. Note any elements that do not respond.
- Return to the canvas and select the first interactive element (button, link, icon, input field, image link).
- For Buttons:
- Select the button → in the right-hand panel, ensure it is a native Framer button component or a Frame with an interaction.
- Open Accessibility → confirm Focusable is enabled.
- If the button is built from a plain Frame, turn on Focusable manually.
- For Links (text links or linked Frames):
- Select the link → open the Link section.
- Ensure the element has an active link assigned so it becomes keyboard reachable.
- Open Accessibility → confirm Focusable is on.
- For Icon Buttons (hamburger menu, close icons, arrows):
- Select the icon → open Accessibility.
- Enable Focusable.
- Add an ARIA Label describing the action (e.g., “Open Menu”, “Next Slide”).
- For Inputs and Form Fields:
- Select the input → open Accessibility.
- Confirm Focusable is on (Framer inputs default to keyboard-accessible).
- Ensure each field has a Label so keyboard users know what they’re focusing on.
- For Image Links:
- Select the image → assign a link in the right-hand panel.
- Open Accessibility → enable Focusable.
- Add Alt Text describing the action (e.g., “View Gallery”).
- For Custom Frames acting as buttons:
- Select the Frame → open Accessibility.
- Turn on Focusable.
- Add an ARIA Label describing what it does.
- Check interactive Components:
- Select the component instance → open Accessibility.
- Enable Focusable if the component has clickable interactions.
- Repeat these steps for all interactive items on the page so each one is keyboard reachable.
- Enter Preview again and press Tab through the page to verify:
- Each control receives focus,
- The focus order is logical,
- Each item activates with Enter or Space.
