Oh, okay, that makes sense. If it does toggle off structure navigation when I turn to focus mode, then that's a lot easier, and a lot less to worry about. Thanks!
Focus mode should be all you need for most web apps. The structural
navigation toggle just turns off the keyboard shortcuts to things like
headers, objects, buttons, etc, which are already turned off if you're
in focus mode. The structural navigation toggle is only needed if you're
in browse mode and need to turn off the shortcut keys. For example, if
I'm making a phone call using either TextNow or Google Voice and need to
dial numbers after the call is connected, I need to toggle off
structural navigation in order to dial numbers 1 through 6 because those
are header levels 1 through 6 navigation keys normally, but I do
probably want to stay in browse mode, since focusing will not allow me
to continue to use the arrow keys to navigate the page.. I've never had
the need to work with both focus mode and structural navigation off at
the same time. As I mentioned, focus mode automatically toggles off
structural navigation, because it can be assumed that if you press a
structural navigation key while in focus mode, you intended to pass that
key to the web app rather than navigating to an element or control. If
you see different behavior from what I describe, i.e. if you are in
focus mode and structural navigation keys are taking you to unexpected
places, you probably found a bug. Hope this helps.
