I was going through https://github.com/Heydon/inclusive-design-checklist

Realized that links within fully "hidden" content are focusable by default in Drupal 8. Fine to have "visually-hidden" text have links that work (as screen readers need to click on them). It is useful though to see that other links aren't though.

Found some JS options to disable links https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10276133/how-to-disable-html-links

We have an example in #2852724: Machine-name field is not effectively hidden from keyboard and screen reader users.. Making this the parent for that issue.

Quite timely, I caught a visually-hidden button in during accessibility review of the new Umami theme, a work-in-progress patch over at #2904243-12: Implement the Out of the Box designs as a theme for demo_umami

@mgifford I'm wondering if we should make a plan to review Drupal core for more instances of this? Im pretty sure I've encountered some, can't recall exactly where....

The responsive menu in Bartik would be a good thing to review.

That would be great, lots of other important things to look at too though. We can probably just look for them as we go. Unless we find an automated way to drill down and find them.

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
