Dynamic Media supports keyboard control and assistive technologies, such as JAWS and NVDA screen readers, across the authoring user interface.
Because Dynamic Media is a plug-in to Adobe Experience Manager Assets, most of the keyboard control behavior is the same as in Experience Manager Assets. For example, the Cancel
button in Dynamic Media has the same focus highlight as in Experience Manager Assets, and reacts to the Spacebar
key as in Experience Manager Assets. See Keyboard shortcuts in Assets.
