Notes

Accessibility

termcn exposes the following behavior through Ink's terminal accessibility APIs. This is not a browser ARIA or general WCAG-conformance claim.

  • Keyboard: Arrow keys move inside the composite; Home / End select the first or last enabled item; Enter / Space activate, select, or toggle; Escape cancels or closes an owned surface; Tab / Shift+Tab move between termcn/Ink focus targets.
  • Focus and composition: Input is active only while the component's focus target is focused, enabled, active, and inside the topmost focus scope.
  • Screen reader: Screen-reader mode removes decorative output while preserving meaningful labels and state.
