Accessibility

Envault is designed with accessibility and sensory comfort in mind. A core part of our interactive experience is Global Haptic Feedback.

Haptic Feedback

To provide a more tactile and responsive user experience, Envault implements a dual-path haptics system that triggers physical device vibrations during high-value interactions.

High-Value Interactions Only

We strictly reserve haptic feedback for critical actions to avoid sensory fatigue. You will feel haptic feedback during:

• Errors: Form validation failures (e.g., missing usernames) or critical API errors.
• Success: Positive confirmations, such as successfully updating your profile and reviving an account.
• Destructive Actions: High-risk operations like scheduling an account deletion or permanently deleting a project.

Routine navigation, tab switching, and standard button clicks remain completely silent. Furthermore, asynchronous actions utilize "pre-flight" light haptics immediately upon interaction so users always feel a responsive click.

Dual-Path Compatibility

Envault's haptics system works across both major mobile OS boundaries:

• Android: Utilizes the native navigator.vibrate API for granular, precise vibration patterns.
• iOS / Safari: Utilizes a graceful fallback mechanism leveraging a hidden <input type="checkbox" switch> element to trigger Safari's native physical switch haptics.

User Opt-Out

Accessibility is about choice. If you prefer not to experience haptic feedback, or if you are prone to sensory fatigue, you can disable it globally:

1. Navigate to Settings > Profile.
2. Scroll down to the Preferences section.
3. Toggle off Enable Haptic Feedback.

This preference is instantly saved to your browser's local storage (envault_haptics_enabled) and will be respected across the entire Envault application.

Keyboard Navigation

Envault embraces a keyboard-first philosophy, allowing power users and those relying on assistive technologies to navigate the entire platform without a mouse.

Global Command Palette

Press ⌘ + K (or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the app to open the Global Search Dialog. From here you can:

• Search Projects: Instantly jump to any project environment by name.
• Access Settings: Quickly navigate to Profile, Security, or Appearance settings.
• Switch Contexts: Move between the dashboard, documentation, and support pages seamlessly.

Contextual Shortcuts

Throughout the Envault UI, you will notice small hints (e.g., N, ⌘ + ↵) attached to buttons and actions. These are contextual shortcuts designed to speed up your workflow:

• Project Editor: Press N to open the "Add Variable" dialog instantly while viewing a project.
• Universal Actions: Depending on your role, background shortcuts are available to quickly Delete, Share, Download, or Import environments without clicking through dropdowns.
• Form Submission: Most dialogs and forms (such as saving profiles, confirming deletions, or adding variables) can be submitted using ⌘ + Enter (or Ctrl + Enter).

All shortcuts are designed to be conflict-free and respect browser defaults, turning your environment management into a seamless, accessible experience.
