Not Accessible to Keyboards

No worries. You don't need to be an expert in accessibility and we can help test & evaluate this.

Looking at the code the problem seems to be that you have links that aren't links:

<div class="views-slideshow-controls-bottom clearfix"> 
      <div id="views_slideshow_controls_text_spotlight-block_1" class="views-slideshow-controls-text-render views_slideshow_controls_text"> 
  <span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_previous_spotlight-block_1" class="views-slideshow-controls-text-previous views_slideshow_controls_text_previous">Previous</span> 
  <span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_pause_spotlight-block_1" class="views-slideshow-controls-text-pause views_slideshow_controls_text_pause">Pause</span> 
  <span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_next_spotlight-block_1" class="views-slideshow-controls-text-next views_slideshow_controls_text_next">Next</span> 
</div> 
    </div>

There is no way for someone to get to this without a mouse. The behavior isn't quite right either.

Likewise with image navigation:

      <div class="views-slideshow-controls-bottom clearfix"> 
      <div id="widget_pager_bottom_portfolio_slideshow-page_1" class="views-slideshow-pager-fields-render widget_pager widget_pager_bottom views_slideshow_pager_field"> 
  <div id="views_slideshow_pager_field_item_portfolio_slideshow-page_1_0" class="views-slideshow-pager-field-item views_slideshow_pager_field_item views_slideshow_active_pager_field_item views-row-odd"> 
  <div class="views-field-entity-id"> 
    <div class="views-content-entity-id"> 
    <div class="field field-name-field-screenshot field-type-image field-label-hidden"> 
        <div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://openconcept.ca/sites/openconcept.ca/files/styles/portfolio_gallery_full/public/uploaded-images/screen_shot_2011-02-16_at_11.41.29_am.png" alt="A view of Recognia&#039;s main page" /></div> 
  </div>  </div> 
</div> 
</div> 
<div id="views_slideshow_pager_field_item_portfolio_slideshow-page_1_1" class="views-slideshow-pager-field-item views_slideshow_pager_field_item views-row-even"> 
  <div class="views-field-entity-id"> 
    <div class="views-content-entity-id"> 
    <div class="field field-name-field-screenshot field-type-image field-label-hidden"> 
        <div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://openconcept.ca/sites/openconcept.ca/files/styles/portfolio_gallery_full/public/uploaded-images/justvision_screenshot.jpg" alt="A view of Just Vision&#039;s front page" /></div> 
  </div>  </div> 
</div> 
</div> 

There should be links around the image.

Thanks for moving it to the right issue queue.

Just adding an anchor tag helps make it accessible to keyboard only users. I haven't tested this solution with screen readers yet, but it is a step ahead:

views-slideshow-controls-text-next.tpl.php

<span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_next_<?php print $variables['vss_id']; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"><a href="#"><?php print t('Next'); ?></a></span>

views-slideshow-controls-text-pause.tpl.php

<span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_pause_<?php print $variables['vss_id']; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"><a href="#"><?php print $start_text; ?></a></span>

views-slideshow-controls-text-previous.tpl.php

<span id="views_slideshow_controls_text_previous_<?php print $variables['vss_id']; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"><a href="#"><?php print t('Previous'); ?></a></span>

EDIT: A similar change should be made to views-slideshow-pager-field-field.tpl.php, however I can't get the <a href="#"> close enough to the image to allow this to be linkable. I think it's probably in views_slideshow.theme.inc but I can't find it yet.

Cool. Great to hear. I'm not quite sure about how to do this for pages like http://openconcept.ca/portfolio which use the images to make the transition.

I'm quite certain it would need to be a link if it is going to work for keyboards & screen readers. It's about navigation as much or more than it is displaying data.

A link (even to #) around an image should be sufficient. What output were you thinking?

Thanks!

This must have been reverted at some point. It's back to using div's.

EDIT: Actually, I think it's just that only addresses some of the navigational elements and there are a few others that are defaulting still to div's.
