<p dir="auto">When a user closes a modal, nothing gets focus.  This breaks keyboard/tabbed usability (possibly accessibility?).  Consider a long form that a user tabs through elements, and launches modals for things like help text. Ideally the last button or element used to launch the modal would receive focus back and the user could continue from where they left off.</p>
<p dir="auto">Test: simply tab through <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/" rel="nofollow">http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/</a> and use only the keyboard to launch the demo modal, escape it, then start tabbing again to see the behavior in action.</p>
<p dir="auto">Ticket for first pass at making bootstrap's modal element accessible.</p>
<p dir="auto">Things that should be done:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>limit tabable area to dialog</li>
<li>add aria-roles</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">If you know of other things please list them in this ticket and I will add them to the top up here. Thanks &lt;3!</p>
