Accessibility

Screen Readers

Picker supports navigation using a screen reader by implementing the slider role on each Picker Column. The following gestures can be used to navigate the Picker.

GestureFunction
Swipe LeftMove focus to the previous Picker Column.
Swipe RightMove focus to the next Picker Column.
Swipe UpSelect the next option in the Picker Column.
Swipe DownSelect the previous option in the Picker Column.
Double Tap and Slide Up/DownAdjust the selected option in the Picker Column. Can be used as an alternative to swiping up and down.
caution

The Swipe Up and Swipe Down gestures rely on the correct key events being synthesized as noted on the slider documentation. Chromium-based browsers do not synthesize keyboard events correctly, but the "Double Tap and Slide Up/Down" gesture can be used as an alternative until this has been implemented in Chromium-based browsers.

Keyboard Navigation

Each Picker Column can be navigated using the keyboard when focused.

KeyFunction
ArrowUpScroll to the previous option.
ArrowDownScroll to the next option.
PageUpScroll up by more than one option.
PageDownScroll down by more than one option.
HomeScroll to the first option.
