Hello, 

I've been working on building a new application that will one day be used by the public to explore my organization's park system. 

 Per staff request I configured the Filter widget to use toggle switches as the activation style to filter the map based on what amenities are available.

When testing for accessibility I found that the toggle switches don't respond when using the Enter key to activate them. 

If I changed the activation style to use buttons instead the Enter key works.

Would it be possible to add this functionality to the toggle switch activation style?

Staff really seem to prefer using the toggle switch method of filtering the map since it keeps the filters organized in neat rows and don't require the user to scroll much.

Thanks, 

Caitlin T

Have you tried the Space Bar? It is another standard key for keyboard only interaction and experienced users should know that, so it is acceptable for accessibility standards.

Ah thank you! I only knew about the Enter key for keyboard selection. The space bar does work.
