Washington DC	Accessibility improvements Accessibility improvements were completed to create a configurable workspace that supports WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. Reflow The Configurable Workspace supports reflow, which enables pages and content to be zoomed up to 400% through your browser settings without loss of content or functionality. Additionally, content can be enlarged without scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%. This enhancement helps users with low vision or who have trouble seeing web content in a browser due to monitor size, device type, poor lighting, or other situations. Reflow can be turned off with a system property for instances, experiences, and pages. See Reflow for Configurable Workspace for details. Keyboard shortcuts Forty keyboard shortcuts are now available to help you navigate across configurable workspace pages faster and more effectively without a mouse. Shortcuts are contextual to the page that you're on and to the operating system that you're using. View the keyboard shortcuts that are available to you on a particular page through the keyboard shortcut modal. You can open the modal by selecting Keyboard shortcuts from the Next Experience User Preferences menu, or by using a keyboard shortcut (Control + / for Windows or Command + / for macOS). This enhancement helps non-mouse and keyboard-only users or users with mobility issues and cognitive impairments to reduce the time required to complete various tasks. Previously, a limited number of keyboard shortcuts were available when the Enable special keyboard shortcuts Next Experience user preference was turned on. Those shortcuts are included in the new keyboard shortcut framework and are accessible via the new modal. See Configure Next Experience accessibility preferences for additional information. Keyboard shortcuts for creating comments, work notes, and emails Use keyboard shortcuts to create comments, work notes, and emails when using the Front-line case page in CSM Configurable Workspace.
