What is Keyboard navigation?

Keyboard navigation refers to the ability to browse and interact with all website functionalities without using a mouse. The Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, and arrow keys must allow reaching and activating all interactive elements. This is a fundamental requirement of WCAG (Guidelines 2.1 and 2.4) because many users with disabilities depend exclusively on the keyboard.
