Action list

An action list is a group of actions, controls, or buttons with set spacing.

An action list is a group of actions with set spacing.

Keyboard users should be able to navigate an action list using Tab to move forward and Tab + Shift to move backwards through interactive elements. They should be able to select a focused action using Space or Enter.

Screen reader users should be able to navigate to the actions on the action list, and they should have text that can be read by a screen reader, or alternative text if they only contain an icon. For alternative text, aria-label is the most common choice.

To make action list accessible:

  • Ensure the list is navigable using a keyboard
  • Use alternative text if actions do not have their own text that a screen reader can read
