Here's what I'll do today and it would be great if you would join me.

On the website you're working on today, find a stylesheet and add the following rule.

```
*, *:hover {
cursor: none !important;
}
```

That forces you to use the keyboard. If you find something that makes it hard or impossible to do using the keyboard, fix it! Not just for yourself but for everyone relying on keyboard accessibility.

Edit: fixed code formatting

@matuzo I personally cut the cable of my mouse.

@matuzo took a second for me to realize my client (Elk) doesn't show the universal star selector and this is not some crazy new CSS syntax that just came out 😅

@mxbck @matuzo Manuel did not format his code in Gravises (``). ts ts ts.

minutes ago he wrote about semantic text declaration :D

@sebastianlaube @matuzo I know, he's the worst

@sebastianlaube wait, would that fix it? Lemme try.

@matuzo if elk strips asterisk i would guess it interprets markdown.

@sebastianlaube @matuzo Elk interprets Markdown-style bold and italic, I'm not sure about anything beyond that.

@elkarrde check the other replies, it does :)

@mxbck hmmm...what about

```
* {}
```

or \* {}

or "* {}"

@matuzo Elk basically follows markdown formatting. So code fences are best, then I even get proper formatted code blocks.

@mxbck @matuzo oh that is fascinating. This makes me seriously consider Elk. Much of my timeline already does this anyway, including me. Does it also support inline `syntax`?
Show threadMax BöckJul 7, 2023
@nachtfunke @matuzo it does!

@matuzo I had an WCAG accessibility scan for my project (MapComplete) last week. This sounds like a solid hint

@matuzo Do not deploy this change to prod.

@matuzo Oooh, that’s such a good idea! We‘re looking for a strategy to get all of our team into understanding & experiencing accessibility topics (and then familiar with solving them) in a short time span, so I will added this to our tool kit.

Faster done than getting people somewhat familiar with screen readers, which might be something for a few hours later. A good way to increase frustration and the wish to fix this. :D
