Oli and TYPO3
Working on TYPO3 means beginning each day by reconsidering yesterday’s work. We’re always thinking about how to provide a future-proof framework for TYPO3 users and b13 clients
I’m a big fan of the TYPO3 community and TYPO3’s commitment to PSRs — its PSR7, PSR14, and PSR15 implementations were all really well thought-out.

TYPO3 version 11 supports keyboard navigation as suggested by the ARIA Authoring Practices. Users don’t need a mouse to navigate menus, trees, and to select multiple records.
