 * Hello,
 * Help – We’re trying to make the site WCAG compliant!.
 * I added the PE Accordion inside the Popup. I works great when navigating the 
   accordion using a keybaord. However, when I turn on the Screen Reader (Jaws and
   nVDA). The Enter Key no longer triggers when navigating. I cannot click the open/
   close tab, I cannot click the links and also cannot click the close button using
   the [Enter] key wnen JAWS or NVDA are on.
 * Here’s an example [https://mdchilddev.wpengine.com/popup-sample/](https://mdchilddev.wpengine.com/popup-sample/)–
   Please “Click Popup here” and navigate using screen reader.
    For the Popup- I
   use Popup maker plugin.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fenter-key-doesnt-work-when-using-a-screen-reader%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
    It’s a known issue that is not related to PE Panels. NVDA or other screen
   readers intercepts the keys if you are in browse mode, which is normal behavior.
 * For example, in NVDA if you want to ‘Toggle browse/focus modes’ you should use‘
   insert’ (NVDA) + ‘space’.
 * More details here:

 * Have a nice day.
