Design the keyboard interaction flow for a modal dialog
Your grasp of accessible focus management per WAI-ARIA dialog patterns. Cover initial focus rules, Tab trapping inside the modal, Escape to close, and restoring focus to the trigger on exit.
Your depth in accessible focus management and WAI-ARIA modal patterns, specifically how you handle keyboard-only users. A strong answer details initial focus placement (first focusable element or a static heading for long content), Tab and Shift+Tab cycling within the dialog, Escape closing the modal, and returning focus to the invoking element unless the workflow demands otherwise. A red flag is proposing a solution without focus trapping, ignoring focus restoration, or treating ARIA roles as optional decoration.
