Article title locks the pitch: “Menu button: ‘More actions’ that works with keyboard + screen readers.” Subhead covers what breaks in many “More actions” popups.
Why it matters on the desk
Channel Hub is the Village’s running public a11y lab. Each unit is a concrete, testable pattern — not a blog post about accessibility. Menu-button closes another common failure mode (popup menus that trap or ignore keyboard/SR users). Process tip; standing unchanged.
