# Changelog Entry
### Description
As per https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/8908
Focus in modals has to do with the two following success criterions: [SC 2.1.1: Keyboard (Level A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/keyboard.html) and [SC 2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/focus-order.html).
If focus leaves the modal and reaches elements in the background, the user might get lost or confused, violating logical focus order.
### Added
- Focus trap to `Modal.svelte`, which traps the keyboard inside the modal while the modal is open.
- added `aria-modal="true"` to dialog: Indicates that interaction with the rest of the page is disabled while the modal is open.
- added `role="dialog"` to dialog: Helps screen readers understand that this is a distinct interface element requiring user interaction.
