Keyboard workflow for deleting a table is not explained #2829

What’s broken?

This issue was identified during the Docs accessibility audit on a page containing table-related content.

Audited page:
https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/docs/0d998bef-1b69-47ce-bd18-83d4d849c734/

In the “Delete a table” block, the visual content explains how to delete a table using the mouse.

However, the keyboard workflow is different and is not clearly explained.

A keyboard-only user or screen reader user does not receive enough information to perform the same action without a mouse.

What did you expect to happen?

When an action is demonstrated with the mouse, the equivalent keyboard workflow should also be explained.

The documentation should clearly describe how to delete a table using the keyboard.

If the keyboard interaction is different from the mouse interaction, this difference should be explicitly documented.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the audited Docs document.
  2. Go to the “Delete a table” block.
  3. Review the visual explanation.
  4. Notice that the deletion workflow is explained through mouse interaction.
  5. Notice that the equivalent keyboard workflow is not clearly explained.

Impact

Keyboard-only users and screen reader users may not understand how to delete a table.

This creates an unequal experience where mouse users receive instructions, but keyboard users do not.
