Simplified Commands
Single-letter commands reduce cognitive load and motor requirements. Each button shows the letter, plain-language label, and keyboard shortcut. Click a button or press A, B, or H.

Why This Helps Accessibility
These four features directly address ADA Title II and Section 508 requirements for government digital services.
- Keyboard-Only Operation Users who cannot use a mouse — including those with motor disabilities — can reach and activate every function using only the keyboard.
- Screen Reader Compatibility ARIA labels and live regions allow screen readers to announce every action and state change without ambiguity or silence.
- Reduced Cognitive Load Single-letter commands with plain-language labels reduce working memory demands for users with cognitive or learning disabilities.
- Language Independence One character means the same thing in every language. No translation barrier for LEP (Limited English Proficiency) users.
