Question
How can I test for character key shortcuts?
Answer
The WCAG Success Criterion 2.1.4: Character Key Shortcuts considers a character key shortcut to be a shortcut "using only letter (including upper- and lower-case letters), punctuation, number, or symbol characters."
To test if any character key shortcuts are present, simply activate the character keys while your webpage or web app is open to see if any keys trigger an action on the page.
