Accessibility

Accessibility is important for people with disabilities or special needs.

Use of Tab
Use the Tab key to move your focus through elements on the tasks page. Pressing the Enter key activates the focused element in the same way as clicking on the element. For task management, focusable elements include:
 * the +/- buttons in Habits
 * checkboxes in Dailies, To-Dos, and Checklists
 * the gold cost button in Rewards
 * the text boxes for entering new tasks and Rewards
 * the text box for searching for tasks and Rewards
 * links inserted in task names and checklists using markdown

Show chat messages in reverse order
On January 13th 2016 a new accessibility feature was added to improve access to people using screen readers. This option allows users to reverse the order of social chat messages with older messages appearing first and newer messages at the end.

Suggesting Additional Features
Currently Habitica only has a small set of built in accessibility features. You can suggest additional features using the Accessibility Settings Trello card. However we recommend that third-party tools be used where possible as they are already optimised for adding accessibility features to websites. If your preferred accessibility tool does not work with Habitica, please request assistance on the Trello card.

For ADHD
Habitica grants its players the independence of adapting the provided tools to their specific needs; the community of the ADHDers Guild have created a page outlining how to adapt Habitica to ADHD.

Visibility
The size of text in most browsers can be varied. Press Ctrl (for Windows) or cmd (for MacOS) and scroll the mouse wheel or press +/-. On some browsers, press Ctrl/cmd and 0 (zero) to reset to the default font size.

Keyboard Navigation
For navigating using the keyboard, the Vimium add-on for Chrome has been confirmed to work with Habitica. VimFX is a similar add-on for Mozilla Firefox.

There are a wide range of other add-ons and software that help navigation on websites.

See also Features in Habitica above for keyboard navigation between clickable elements.

Phobia Avoidance
The Phobia Protection Extension prevents rat, snake and spider pets, mounts, and quest bosses being displayed. It can also be customized to remove other animal types as well or instead.

The Spider Squisher Extension prevents spider and rat pets, mounts, and quest bosses being displayed.
