- Wrapped the "Add Step" custom row in a native `Button` with `.buttonStyle(.plain)` instead of `.onTapGesture` to ensure proper keyboard and VoiceOver focus targeting. - Added explicit `.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton)` and `.accessibilityLabel` to the dynamic MacroStepRow list items.

Apple SwiftUI accessibilityAddTraits isButton onTapGesture keyboard activation macOS Button accessibility documentation
💡 Result:
In SwiftUI, when you use the.onTapGesture modifier on a view, the view does not automatically receive the accessibility behavior of a standard button [1][2][3]. Assistive technologies, such as VoiceOver or keyboard-based interaction tools on macOS, will not recognize the view as interactive unless you explicitly inform the accessibility system [1][3]. To make a custom view (such as a Text or Image with.onTapGesture) behave like a button, you must manually configure its accessibility traits and labels [1][3]: 1. Use.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton) to identify the element as a button [4][5][1]. This informs assistive technologies that the element is an interactive control [1][6]. 2. Provide a descriptive label using.accessibilityLabel(_:) if the view's contents do not already clearly describe the action (e.g., a "heart" icon should have a label like "Favorite") [7][3]. While manually adding these modifiers can improve accessibility for custom views, using the built-in Button component is generally recommended whenever possible [1][8]. The standard Button automatically provides the.isButton trait, handles keyboard activation (Return/Space keys), and manages platform-specific accessibility behaviors without additional manual configuration [1][9][2]. If you must use a custom view with.onTapGesture, simply adding.isButton is often insufficient for full keyboard accessibility [1]. To ensure the element is reachable via keyboard navigation and activation on macOS, you may also need to incorporate.accessibilityElement(children:.combine) or other accessibility modifiers to ensure it is included in the accessibility focus hierarchy [1][2]. However, for most interactive needs, the native Button or a Button with a custom label/style is the most accessible approach [1][8].

💡 Result:
To make a view with an.onTapGesture accessible as a button in SwiftUI, you must manually bridge the gesture interaction to the accessibility system. Simply adding the.isButton trait is not sufficient to enable standard keyboard activation (like the spacebar or enter key) because.onTapGesture does not automatically participate in the focus system or the default accessibility action chain. To achieve this, follow these steps: 1. Add Accessibility Traits: Use.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton) to inform assistive technologies that the element behaves like a button [1][2]. 2. Provide an Accessibility Action: Use.accessibilityAction {... } to define the action that should trigger when the user invokes the accessibility default action (e.g., via VoiceOver or Switch Control) [3]. 3. Enable Keyboard Interaction: For macOS and other platforms supporting keyboard navigation,.onTapGesture does not automatically respond to key presses. You must use.onKeyPress or provide a focusable, button-like interface. However, the best practice in SwiftUI—when creating a control that is functionally equivalent to a button—is to use a standard Button with a custom ButtonStyle, which provides built-in accessibility, focus management, and keyboard support (Space/Enter) automatically [4]. If you must use a custom view with a gesture, you can add keyboard support by adding.focusable and.onKeyPress {... } to the view: view.onTapGesture { /* handle action / }.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton).accessibilityAction { / handle action / }.focusable.onKeyPress(.space) { / handle action */ } Note: While the above allows for keyboard triggers, using a native Button remains the recommended approach to ensure full compatibility with macOS accessibility standards and focus behaviors [4].

Use a native Button for step editing.
.accessibilityAddTraits(.isButton) only declares the accessibility role. The edit action still uses .onTapGesture, so the row does not receive standard Button keyboard focus and activation behavior. Move the edit action into a Button within MacroStepRow, and keep duplicate and delete as sibling controls to avoid nested buttons.

💡 What: Improved the accessibility of the "Add Step" and step editing rows within the MacroEditorSheet.
🎯 Why: Custom interactive elements leveraging
.onTapGestureare completely ignored by VoiceOver and keyboard-only navigation. Replacing them with nativeButton(action:)configurations restores proper interaction boundaries and semantics.📸 Before/After: No visual changes.
♿ Accessibility: The "Add Step" action can now be naturally focused via the keyboard and read correctly by VoiceOver. Individual macro step rows now announce their index (e.g. "Edit step 1") properly to screen readers.
