This PR improves the accessibility of the PriorityTaskRow component by making the task title interactive for keyboard users and screen readers. The title span now has role="button", tabindex="0", and an aria-label. It also supports activation via Enter and Space keys.

This aligns PriorityTaskRow behavior with TaskRow and follows accessibility best practices.

Verification:

  • Ran just check-clippy (passed).
  • Ran just test-rust (passed).
  • Verified visually and via attribute inspection using a Playwright script.

Summary of Changes

Hello @matta, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly improves the accessibility of the PriorityTaskRow component. By transforming the task title into a semantically interactive element, it ensures that users relying on keyboard navigation and screen readers can effectively interact with and activate task titles, aligning its behavior with established accessibility best practices and the existing TaskRow component.

Highlights

  • Accessibility Improvement: Enhanced the PriorityTaskRow component to make its task title interactive for keyboard users and screen readers by adding role="button", tabindex="0", and an aria-label.
  • Keyboard Interaction: Implemented onkeydown handlers to allow activation of the task title using the Enter and Space keys, preventing default space key behavior.
  • Dioxus Key Handling Note: Documented a learning point regarding Dioxus 0.7's Key enum, specifically that Key::Character(" ".to_string()) is used to detect Space bar presses.
Changelog
  • .Jules/palette.md
    • Added new learning notes on PriorityTaskRow accessibility best practices.
    • Added a note on handling the Space key in Dioxus 0.7.
  • crates/tasklens-ui/src/app_components/priority_task_row.rs
    • Introduced a new task_id_tap_keydown clone for keyboard event handling.
    • Applied role="button", tabindex="0", and aria_label attributes to the task title span.
    • Implemented an onkeydown event handler to trigger the on_title_tap action when Enter or Space keys are pressed.
    • Added evt.prevent_default() for the Space key to avoid unintended scrolling.
Activity
  • Ran just check-clippy (passed).
  • Ran just test-rust (passed).
  • Verified visually and via attribute inspection using a Playwright script.
  • PR created automatically by Jules for task 1236604071689997881, started by @matta.

Code Review

The pull request successfully improves the accessibility of the PriorityTaskRow component by adding role="button", tabindex="0", aria-label, and onkeydown handlers for keyboard interaction. The changes align the component with accessibility best practices and the behavior of TaskRow. The addition of the .Jules/palette.md file is a good way to document learning and actions related to accessibility and Dioxus key handling. Additionally, suggestions for reducing redundant cloning have been provided to improve efficiency and readability.

let is_done = task.status == TaskStatus::Done;
let task_id_toggle = task.id.clone();
let task_id_tap = task.id.clone();
let task_id_tap_keydown = task.id.clone();

Cloning task.id for task_id_tap_keydown is unnecessary. The task_id_tap clone can be reused for the onkeydown handler, as both handlers perform the same action (on_title_tap.call). This reduces redundant cloning and improves efficiency.

Suggested change
let task_id_tap_keydown = task.id.clone();
let task_id_tap = task.id.clone();

The aria-label should be more descriptive for screen reader users. Instead of just "Edit task {task.title}", it could specify the action more clearly, such as "Activate to edit task {task.title}" or "Click or press Enter to edit task {task.title}". This provides better context for users relying on assistive technologies.

Suggested change
aria_label: "Edit task {task.title}",
aria_label: "Activate to edit task {task.title}",

The task_id_tap_keydown clone is redundant here. The task_id_tap clone, which is already used for the onclick handler, can be reused for the onkeydown handler. This aligns with the suggestion to avoid unnecessary cloning and improves code readability by using a single variable for the same logical purpose.

Suggested change
on_title_tap.call(task_id_tap_keydown.clone());
on_title_tap.call(task_id_tap.clone());
