What?

Adds a navigable region to the Library content area and the Template content area (when you navigate to 'Manage all templates')

Why?

It's a useful aid for keyboard/screenreader users to jump between parts of the screen

How?

There seems to be a Page component that look perfect for this purpose. It already receives a title, so I've used that for the navigable region label.

Testing Instructions for Keyboard

  1. Open the site editor
  2. Tab till you get to the Library option and select it
  3. Use the navigate region shortcut to jump between the parts of the page (ctrl + backtick on a mac, ctrl + alt + n on windows)

Expected: There are two regions that are announced correctly, 'Navigation' and 'Library content'.

  1. Open the site editor
  2. Tab till you get to Templates and select it
  3. Tab till you get to Manage all templates and select it
  4. Use the navigate region shortcut to jump between the parts of the page (ctrl + backtick on a mac, ctrl + alt + n on windows)

Expected: There are two regions that are announced correctly, 'Navigation' and 'Templates'.

Screenshots or screencast

There's no visible difference

This also seems to fix the 'Manage all templates' view, which uses the <Page> component.

My search skills failed me initially, so I didn't realise <Page> was used there too, but it's good to apply the fix there as well.

edit: I've updated the PR description

Is there a reason that this is set up as role="region" instead of role="nav"? It seems a bit strange to me to have a navigable region named "navigation" instead of having a navigation landmark.

Is there a reason that this is set up as role="region" instead of role="nav"? It seems a bit strange to me to have a navigable region named "navigation" instead of having a navigation landmark.

I don't have much history or context here, however, this PR didn't introduce the navigable region around the sidebar which includes navigation. It appears that the region in question was labelled "Navigation sidebar" originally and later renamed to "Navigation" in #49614. There might be some answers there.

My guess for the reasoning behind using role="region" would be:

  • The sidebar can contain more than just navigation
  • It includes the sidebar in the keyboard navigable regions as useNavigateRegions doesn't look for role="nav" elements

This area isn't a strong suit of mine, so please take that with a grain of salt.

If we need to make some changes, I think a dedicated issue would be the best course.
