Claude Accessibility: Use Artifacts with a Keyboard or Screen Reader
Updated: 1 day ago
⚡ TL;DR Tab moves into an artifact and Escape steps back out. Screen readers announce the panel and its title, and F6 cycles between editor areas in Slides and Design.
AI tools should work for everyone. Claude accessibility features let you use artifacts fully with a keyboard or a screen reader.
Here are the key controls. ♿
♿ Claude Accessibility for Artifacts
Screen readers announce the artifact panel and its title when focus reaches it.
⌨️ Moving In and Out
The basics:
➡️ Tab: moves you into an artifact
⬅️ Escape: closes open menus first, then steps out one level at a time
🎞️ Slides and Design Editors
F6 cycles between editor areas, and Shift+F6 goes back. If F6 does nothing in your browser, try Cmd+F6 on Mac or Ctrl+F6 on Windows.
💡 Pro tip Tab skips web page artifacts that have no links or buttons, and arrow keys won't scroll them; add an interactive element if keyboard users need to reach the content.
🚀 Building Accessible Outputs
When you ask Claude for pages or tools, request labeled buttons and clear headings so others can navigate them easily too.
Claude accessibility features make artifacts usable for every team member. Need accessible web content built with AI? Lord Of The Wix can help. ✨
