Description

In the Quick Edit form:

  • the "Cancel" and "Update" button are currently links that look like buttons

In the Bulk Edit form:

  • same but just for the "Cancel" button

For semantics and accessibility, they all should be buttons. See related #26504.

  • Keywords has-patch added

In the proposed patch:

  • Quick Edit and Bulk Edit: make the Cancel and Update buttons real buttons

To quickly check without the need to install a screen reader, you can apply the patch and test the buttons can now be activated pressing Spacebar on your keyboard.

Thinking a screenshot would be useful to make clear why buttons should be buttons :) We don't want them to be reported as "Internal link" (or "link" depending on the screen reader used). See below the ChromeVox console:
