Studio Accessibility Notes 

Keyboard Operability

The space key and the enter key function as keyboard shortcuts for other studio functionality if a mouse or trackpad is used. It only becomes possible to use them to click buttons after performing keyboard navigation using tab or shift+tab.

Musical Typing

The studio’s built-in musical typing functionality assigns musical notes to the letters and numbers on the user’s computer keyboard so that the notes can be played by pressing the corresponding keys. This interferes with various types of assistive technology. Users affected by this issue may disable the musical typing functionality using the toggle switch in the “Settings” menu near the top of the page. It’s under the submenu labeled “Keyboard”.
