Using Pinecast with a keyboard

We work hard to make sure the Pinecast dashboard is fully accessible without using a pointing device (like a mouse, touch screen, or touchpad).

There's a number of basic features you'll find:

1. A skip link - when you press Tab for the first time, you'll see a link to skip past the navigation on the page and jump right to the content.
2. Quick switcher - Press ctrl+k on Windows/Linux or command+k on Mac in the dashboard. This opens a UI that lets you quickly jump between pages in the dashboard.
3. Menus - Your keyboard's arrow keys work inside menus, like they do in your operating system. The escape key closes the menu.
4. No drag and drop - You never need to use drag-and-drop in our UI; there's always a keyboard equivalent.

Seek bars

When using a player, we have seek bars that let you skip backwards or forwards. You can focus the seek bar by tabbing to it.

Screen readers say the position of the player in words.
