.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _breaking-96708: ========================================================== Breaking: #96708 - Removed support for accesskeys in HMENU ========================================================== See :issue:`96708` Description =========== TYPO3's built-in support for menu generation, adding :html:`accesskey` HTML attributes to menu items has been removed. As stated by various sources such as * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/accesskey#accessibility_concerns * https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#:~:text=accesskey%20should%20typically%20be%20avoided this feature should only be used by explicitly defining access keys when a use-case is given. TYPO3 menus previously used a random link title as an access key, when the TypoScript property :typoscript:`HMENU.accessKey = 1` was set. Along with the accessKey functionality, the public property :php:`TypoScriptFrontendController->accessKey` has been removed. Impact ====== Setting the TypoScript option has no effect anymore. Accessing the removed public property will trigger a PHP warning. The extension scanner will detect usages as weak match. Affected Installations ====================== TYPO3 installations using the :typoscript:`accessKey` feature of HMENU or accessing the :php:`accessKey` property of :php:`TypoScriptFrontendController`. TYPO3 installations using the global :html:`accesskey` HTML attribute in their own code will still work as before. Migration ========= Using the :html:`accesskey` HTML attribute should be avoided in general, but if needed, integrators should add it to their templates in a sensible way, depending on the accessibility needs. .. index:: Frontend, TypoScript, PartiallyScanned, ext:frontend
