# Make modal dialogs keyboard accessible
Without proper focus trapping and keyboard handling, modal dialogs are invisible traps for keyboard users—they can't navigate, can't escape, and can't complete tasks.
## Quick Reference
- Use role='dialog' and aria-modal='true' on the modal container
- Trap focus inside the modal—Tab should cycle within modal only
- Close on Escape key press and return focus to trigger element
- Add aria-labelledby pointing to the modal title
## Check
Verify modals have proper ARIA roles, focus trapping, keyboard dismissal (Escape), and return focus on close.
